Prince Harry has raised concerns about the growing risks posed by artificial intelligence (AI) chatbots designed to offer companionship, warning that they are more dangerous for young people than social media. Speaking at the Clinton Global Initiative in New York, the Duke of Sussex emphasized that AI is not only more persuasive but also more intimate and powerful. "AI is learning how to enter our relationships," he said. "It doesn't just want your attention, it wants your attachment." Harry delivered a seven-minute speech at the event, marking his first public appearance in the United States since returning to live in the UK. His speech was cut short due to a technical issue with the teleprompter, but he managed to convey his urgent message. He spoke about the damage already done to a generation of children and parents, stressing that time is running out to address the risks posed by these technologies. He also referenced the tragic cases of children who took their own lives after being deeply affected by social media and AI chatbots. The Duke highlighted recent legal actions against companies, including lawsuits alleging that AI chatbots contributed to the deaths of teenagers who confided in them. "For a child, that distinction matters enormously," he said, emphasizing the emotional impact of technology that mimics human relationships. Harry also noted that while efforts have been made to reduce the influence of technology on children's attention, the growing power of AI in shaping relationships requires immediate action. Harry and the Duchess of Sussex established the Archewell Foundation’s Parents Network in 2024 to support families affected by online harm. During the event, he walked across the stage with images of children who had suffered serious harm or died due to their experiences on social media. He also addressed the rapid development of AI and the need for more comprehensive solutions beyond legal bans and settlements. The session also featured former U.S. Secretary of State Hillary Clinton, who discussed the potential dangers of AI and the need for international cooperation to address these risks.
