King Charles has warned AI executives of the "existential dangers" posed by the technology falling into the wrong hands.

He made the comments at a summit he had convened at Dumfries House in Scotland to discuss how the tech can be used to benefit society.

Those gathered at the meeting also included Kanishka Narayan, the UK's AI Minister, the Pope's advisor, and participants from AI giants such as Nvidia, OpenAI and Anthropic.

It comes amid a series of recent warnings from people inside the industry about the rapidly evolving capabilities of advanced or "frontier" AI models and the regulation needed to keep them in check.

Tech treating AI like humans is "mistaken and misguided", according to a leader in Artificial Intelligence.

Chief Executive of Microsoft AI Mustafa Suleyman speaks to Nick Robinson for BBC Radio 4's Today Programme, explaining why he thinks that if firms continue to develop AIs that set their own objectives, they are "essentially seeding a new silicon species which will no doubt compete with us for resources".

The comments are the latest in a series of stark warnings from the AI industry on the possible dangers of the technology.

Buckingham Palace has rejected claims about King Charles made by Princess Diana’s brother Earl Spencer in his new memoir.

The King has been accused of saying to Earl Spencer, in the wake of Diana's death in 1997, that "we'll forget her soon enough", according to excerpts published in the Daily Mail.

But, in a statement, the Palace said the King's "mindful that the pain of fraternal grief can cloud reason, affect judgment and colour memory".

The president of the European Commission has backed proposals for Canada to become the EU's first "associate member".

Ursula von der Leyen told the European Parliament on Wednesday she wanted to work on "opening the door" for Canada, which would involve closer ties on various key sectors.

US President Donald Trump says that if Canada joins the EU, he'll consider cutting off trade with Europe altogether or imposing heavy tariffs.

The US central bank has raised interest rates for the first time in three years as inflation rises, driven by higher fuel and energy costs caused by the Iran War.

President Trump hit out at the decision by the US Federal Reserve, calling on it to “lower rates, and fast!”.

The Fed is seeking to curb rising prices, as the Iran War pushes up global oil and gas prices, hitting American business and consumers. Higher interest rates make borrowing more expensive for business as well as for people with loans, mortgages and credit cards.

Global oil prices have surged since the start of the US-Israel war with Iran, driving up the price of car fuel as well as the cost of goods and services generally. Borrowing costs are rising around the world, with growing warnings of the economic impact on living standards.

A senior doctor who tried to raise concerns about Lucy Letby with hospital managers has told the BBC he wishes that he and others “had been brave enough to follow our suspicions and escalate things to the police earlier”.

Consultant paediatrician Dr John Gibbs worked at the Countess of Chester Hospital throughout the period in 2015 to 2016 when Letby murdered seven babies, and attempted to murder seven more, on the neonatal unit.

He said that he accepted that consultants must bear "collective" responsibility for some of the failings identified in the report.

An oil pipeline in Saudi Arabia has been temporarily shut down after it was badly damaged in a strike last week.

The pipeline is key to minimising the impact of the closure of the Strait of Hormuz on the world’s global oil supply.

Combined with Houthi attacks in the Red Sea, experts are concerned the closure could force oil prices even higher.

Adam breaks down what happened with diplomatic correspondent Caroline Hawley and what it means for the global economy with business editor Simon Jack.

Plus, Faisal and Adam look at the growing pushback against AI data centres which could pose a key issue at the US midterms.

Could similar backlash come to the UK which has the third highest number of data centres in the world?
