What to know

  • Prince Harry warned at the Clinton Global Initiative that AI poses unprecedented risks to children's relationships and emotional development, arguing tech companies prioritize engagement over safety.
  • His speech was interrupted by a teleprompter malfunction ~7 minutes in; he returned 40 minutes later to complete remarks, joking that AI itself had sabotaged the technology.
  • Harry returned to New York from his newly relocated UK home just weeks after moving his family from California, showing the Sussexes maintain US ties despite their relocation.

“Technology and the humans in charge of it are going to promise us the world. They must be accountable for the world they actually deliver—rather than building underground bunkers to protect themselves from the disasters they warn the rest of us may be coming.”
