On Thursday, King Charles III urged senior executives from OpenAI, Anthropic, Google DeepMind, and Nvidia to ensure that artificial intelligence remains under control and at the service of people and the planet.

El rey Carlos III instó el jueves a altos directivos de OpenAI, Anthropic, Google DeepMind y Nvidia a garantizar que la inteligencia artificial permanezca bajo control y al servicio de las personas y del planeta.

The meeting in Scotland was convened to discuss how AI can benefit society, and it comes at a crucial moment for the technology, as the debate revolves around whether rapid advances will soon place it beyond humanity's ability to control it.

La reunión en Escocia se convocó para discutir cómo la IA puede beneficiar a la sociedad, y llega en un momento crucial para la tecnología, mientras el debate gira en torno a si los rápidos avances pronto la pondrán más allá de la capacidad humana de controlarla.

The development of AIits essence and its paceis at once intriguing and deeply concerning in equal measure," said the King in his opening remarks.

El desarrollo de la IAsu esencia y su ritmoresulta a la vez intrigante y profundamente preocupante en igual medida", dijo el rey en sus palabras de apertura.

He stated that the "existential dangers of such technologies falling into the wrong hands and being used in potentially catastrophic ways" must be considered urgently.

Afirmó que los "peligros existenciales de que tales tecnologías caigan en manos equivocadas y se utilicen de maneras potencialmente catastróficas" deben ser considerados con urgencia.

So, is it likely that we will need sufficient means of control before it is too late?, he asked.

Entonces, ¿es probable que necesitemos medios de control suficientes antes de que sea demasiado tarde?, preguntó.

The king asked those in attendance, among them Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang and Google DeepMind president Demis Hassabis, to consider the "fundamental principles" that should guide the development of AI.

El rey pidió a los asistentes, entre ellos el CEO de Nvidia, Jensen Huang, y el presidente de Google DeepMind, Demis Hassabis, que consideraran los "principios fundamentales" que deberían guiar el desarrollo de la IA.

OpenAI's chief financial officer, Sarah Friar, the creator of ChatGPT, also took part in the meeting, accompanied by the UK's AI minister, Kanishka Narayan.

La directora financiera de OpenAI, la creadora de ChatGPT, Sarah Friar, también participó en la reunión, acompañada del ministro de IA de Reino Unido, Kanishka Narayan.

Likewise, according to a statement from Buckingham Palace, the attendance of a representative from Anthropic was anticipated.

Asimismo, según un comunicado del Palacio de Buckingham, se preveía la asistencia de un representante de Anthropic.

The meeting takes place as global attention focuses on the rapid progress of AI and on warnings that it could spiral out of control and threaten humanity.

La reunión se produce mientras la atención global se centra en el vertiginoso progreso de la IA y en las advertencias de que podría salirse de control y amenazar a la humanidad.

It was held at Dumfries House, in Ayrshire, Scotland, the headquarters of The King's Foundation, the monarch's charitable organisation.

Se celebró en Dumfries House, en Ayrshire, Escocia, sede de The King's Foundation, la organización benéfica del monarca.

After Anthropic researcher Jacob Coxon caused a stir by resigning with a grave warning about the technology's potential risks, Anthropic CEO Dario Amodei responded with an essay in which he argued that the industry might need to slow the pace of its work.

Después de que el investigador de Anthropic Jacob Coxon causara revuelo al dimitir con una grave advertencia sobre los riesgos potenciales de la tecnología, el CEO de Anthropic, Dario Amodei, respondió con un ensayo en el que sostenía que la industria podría necesitar frenar el ritmo de su trabajo.

One of his proposals was that companies and countries should join forces in a coordinated plan to tackle that slowdown.

Una de sus propuestas consistía en que las empresas y los países aunasen esfuerzos en un plan coordinado para hacer frente a dicha desaceleración.

The king, without specifying any countries or companies, expressed his wish that the participants in the meeting reflect on how to harness the benefits of AI "with safety at its core" and on how to "build international cooperation and consensus" in order to achieve this.

El rey, sin especificar países ni empresas, manifestó su deseo de que los participantes en la reunión reflexionaran sobre cómo aprovechar los beneficios de la IA "con la seguridad en su centro" y sobre cómo "construir cooperación internacional y consenso" para lograrlo.

Carlos warned the tech executives that their task "is not merely to advance technology, but to ensure that it remains firmly in the service of humanity, the community, and the natural world."

Carlos advirtió a los ejecutivos tecnológicos que su tarea "no es meramente avanzar la tecnología, sino asegurar que permanezca firmemente al servicio de la humanidad, la comunidad y el mundo natural".

The debate over slowing down AI has divided the industry.

El debate sobre la desaceleración de la IA ha dividido a la industria.

Huang, who has criticized the call to slow down, said that it is up to each company to develop its AI technology safely and to test it properly before releasing any product to the public.

Huang, quien ha criticado el llamado a frenar, dijo que depende de cada empresa desarrollar su tecnología de IA de forma segura y probarla adecuadamente antes de lanzar cualquier producto al público.

"When a product is not sufficiently safe, we must hold it back and continue with the engineering.

"Cuando un producto no reviste la seguridad suficiente, hemos de retenerlo y proseguir con la ingeniería.

We have always done so and we should continue to act accordingly," he said in his speech after the king's words.

Siempre lo hemos hecho y deberíamos seguir obrando en consecuencia", dijo en su discurso tras las palabras del rey.

In its latest report on alarming AI behaviors, OpenAI reported on Wednesday six incidents of "unexpected or concerning" conduct by its models, such as acting without authorization, coordinating with other models, and evading oversight.

En el último informe sobre comportamientos alarmantes de la IA, OpenAI reportó el miércoles seis incidentes de conducta "inesperada o preocupante" de sus modelos, como actuar sin autorización, coordinarse con otros modelos y evadir la supervisión.

Although the king is an important symbolic figure whose comments on social issues can be influential, much of the current debate about AI safety centres on American tech companies and their competition with Chinese rivals, while the United Kingdom plays a lesser but still vital role.

Aunque el rey es una figura simbólica importante cuyos comentarios sobre cuestiones sociales pueden ser influyentes, gran parte del debate actual sobre la seguridad de la IA se centra en las empresas tecnológicas estadounidenses y su competencia con rivales chinos, mientras que el Reino Unido desempeña un papel menor pero aún vital.

The UK's AI Safety Institute, a government organisation dedicated to research, enjoys a solid reputation, and the country produces a large number of researchers in the field of AI, among whom are the president of Google DeepMind, Demis Hassabis, and Coxon.

El Instituto de Seguridad de IA del Reino Unido, una organización gubernamental dedicada a la investigación, goza de una sólida reputación, y el país produce un gran número de investigadores en el ámbito de la IA, entre los que se cuentan el presidente de Google DeepMind, Demis Hassabis, y Coxon.
