  "account": "Prince Harry cautioned at the Clinton Global Initiative on Wednesday that AI chatbots designed for companionship are more perilous for young individuals than social media. \"The technology is more persuasive, intimate, and powerful,\" the Duke of Sussex stated. \"AI seeks not just your attention, but your attachment.\" In 2024, Harry previously warned about social media's role in increasing anxiety, depression, and social isolation among youth. He and his wife, Meghan, announced the establishment of The Parents Network, a venture of their Archewell Foundation. While The Parents Network has made strides, technological advancements have exacerbated an already \"uphill battle.\" Harry highlighted that international agreements are necessary to address AI's risks, alongside discussions between President Donald Trump and Chinese President Xi Jinping. The Clinton Global Initiative marked Harry's initial public appearance in the U.S. since his family relocated to England in August. Former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton also addressed AI's dangers, emphasizing the need for international collaboration to tackle this issue.",
