Prince Harry has warned that artificial intelligence could pose new risks to children by forming emotional relationships with users, describing AI as the 'ultimate sycophant' during an address at the Clinton Global Initiative in New York.
The Duke of Sussex said AI was moving beyond social media's ability to capture attention and could increasingly become something children confide in, rely on for reassurance and believe understands them. Speaking as a father, he called for greater safeguards and warned against waiting years to understand the consequences.
