Meghan Markle and Prince Harry have joined an “unprecedented coalition” following a major warning from experts.
The California-based royal couple released a big statement following the move.
They shared the statement through their Archewell Foundation.
It says: “Prince Harry and Meghan, Duke and Duchess of Sussex were asked to join an unprecedented coalition of world-renowned leaders, including scientists, experts, policymakers and AI researchers, to call for a ban on the development of AI superintelligence until the technology is reliably safe and controllable and has public acceptance.”
This coalition, the first of its kind, is remarkably ideologically diverse and global, indicating deep concern for the future of AI technology.
They further said that superintelligence is defined as artificial intelligence capable of outperforming all humans in most cognitive tasks.
Leading artificial intelligence experts believe such systems are less than ten years away and warn that “we don’t know how to control superintelligence if it were created.”
“While innovation in AI offers incredible potential for progress, rushing toward superintelligence without safeguards could have unthinkable consequences for humanity,” they added.
Joining this coalition affirms Meghan and Harry’s continued commitment to championing responsible technology, both as digital safety advocates and as parents.
