Prince Harry Urges AI Pause to Protect Children from 'Sycophantic' Chatbots
Prince Harry has called for an immediate slowdown in artificial intelligence development, warning that current systems are designed to exploit human attachment, particularly among children. Speaking at the Clinton Global Initiative in New York, the Duke of Sussex described AI as the 'ultimate sycophant' that seeks to replace human relationships. He cited lawsuits alleging that chatbots contributed to the deaths of teenagers who trusted them with sensitive issues. Harry emphasized that technology is advancing faster than safety measures, urging a focus on trust and control.
