Quick Summary

Prince Harry, 42, visited New York City for the Clinton Global Initiative to discuss concerns over artificial intelligence and its impact on children, particularly emphasizing parental worries about technology's risks. During his speech, a technical issue forced him offstage after only seven minutes; he returned later to complete his address, criticizing tech companies for exploiting users' attention and emotional bonds. Harry’s appearance was also seen as an attempt to strengthen ties with the Clintons since moving back to the UK following his family's decision to step down from royal duties in America.

Story summary

Prince Harry, 42, returned to the US in September 2023 to address concerns about artificial intelligence (AI) at the Clinton Global Initiative in New York City. During his speech, he highlighted the risks AI poses to children and warned that technology companies aim to "find you, hook you, exploit you, break and then blame you." Harry, a father of two, emphasized his role as a parent when discussing the dangers of recklessly built technology. However, his speech was cut short by a technical failure after about seven minutes, forcing him offstage temporarily. He returned 40 minutes later to finish his remarks, humorously noting that AI had somehow influenced his speech's content.

🔮 However, unlike other Senate elections, the Alaska result will be determined by ranked-choice voting, meaning each of the four candidates will be eliminated until one gets more than 50%.
🔮 The high court rejected Jesus Herrera-Salazar’s request to review his case, in part because he has already been deported, but Sotomayor and Gorsuch made clear they “hope the facts of this case are anomolous.”
