At Dumfries House, [Charles](https://qazinform.com/tag/king-charles) urged industry leaders to keep [AI](https://qazinform.com/tag/artificial-intelligence) under human control and explore how it could serve people, communities and the environment. He asked participants to consider how to “build international cooperation and consensus” around its safe development. Representatives from [OpenAI](https://qazinform.com/tag/openai), [Anthropic](https://qazinform.com/tag/anthropic), Google DeepMind and [Nvidia](https://qazinform.com/tag/nvidia) attended the gathering, alongside Britain’s Minister for Artificial Intelligence, Kanishka Narayan.

Without naming individual countries or companies, [Charles](https://qazinform.com/tag/king-charles) called for beneficial applications of [AI](https://qazinform.com/tag/artificial-intelligence) to be developed “with safety at its heart.” Speaking after the [King](https://qazinform.com/tag/king-charles), Huang emphasized developers’ responsibility to test their technology and withhold products that were not ready for public use. ``` “When a product is not safe enough, we should hold it back and keep engineering. We’ve always done that and we should continue to do that,” he said. ``` Earlier, [Qazinform reported](https://qazinform.com/news/altman-warns-ai-could-escape-human-control-09b5d5) that [OpenAI](https://qazinform.com/tag/openai) CEO Sam Altman said the public was justified in fearing the growing power of [artificial intelligence](https://qazinform.com/tag/artificial-intelligence) companies, while expressing confidence that the industry could develop the technology safely.
