Prince Harry makes a warning about protecting children from artificial intelligence during an appearance in New York. Speaking at the Clinton Global Initiative, he highlights the risks posed by rapidly advancing AI technologies and argues that society cannot afford delays in addressing how children are protected.

According to outlets covering the event, Harry tells the forum that “we do not have years for what comes next,” framing the issue as urgent rather than something that can be managed gradually. Both the Evening Standard and The Independent report that his speech is cut short due to technical problems, interrupting or limiting the remarks he planned to deliver.

Other coverage aligns on the broad focus of the message—AI’s impact on children and the need for timely safeguards—while differences mainly relate to the details of the presentation, including the extent to which technical difficulties affect the delivery. The overall reporting presents the appearance as a public call for action around child safety in the AI era.
