Prince Harry warns parents against ‘unregulated surge of AI’
Prince Harry is warning parents against posting their kids’ photos on social media.
Speaking to Hasan Minhaj in a recent interview, the Duke of Sussex spoke about the increase in cyber crime and the vices of social media.
“Parents can do whatever they want,” Harry responded.
“But from what I’ve seen, what I’ve heard, what I’ve experienced, is you should be really really worried, concerned and cautious about putting photographs of your kids online.
“Especially now, with this surge of unregulated AI. You don’t know where it’s going to go, how it’s going to be used,” he noted.
Harry added: “But that’s also really sad. There’s parents watching this asking ‘well how am I supposed to share photos with people across the world’.”

Meghan Markle ‘carefully’ plotting her next big career move?
Meghan Markle is said to be “carefully” planning her next career move.
Amid the uncertainty of the Duchess of Sussex’s future with Netflix, she has subtly dropped hints of her next chapter, via Radaronline.com.
As the 44-year-old mom recently took to her Instagram account to share rare behind-the-scenes glimpses of the second season of her lifestyle show, also featuring Prince Archie and Princess Lilibet, royal sources believe she is giving a nod to her former lifestyle blog, The Tig.
“Meghan’s been carefully considering her next step. She knows the latest season didn’t reach the same success as the first, and she’s reflecting on what direction to take,” a source close to Meghan told the outlet.
“The Tig was something deeply personal to her – it showcased her creativity and gave her a real bond with her audience. She’s been longing to reconnect with that side of herself,” the insider added.
This came after the second season of Meghan’s series With Love, Meghan did not make it to the streamer’s Top 10 list, while the first season reached 2.6 million views and hit 12.6 million hours during its first week of release.
A second source claimed, “The series didn’t pull in the figures Netflix was hoping for, and that created some strain in the deal.
“Meghan holds herself to incredibly high standards – she wants her work to have substance, but she’s also very aware of public perception. She’s been taking her time to decide the smartest next move.”

Paramount to lay off 2,000 workers shortly after merging with Skydance
In widely expected job cuts after completing its $8 billion merger with Skydance, Paramount has begun layoffs set to impact about 2,000 employees.
Paramount initiated roughly 1,000 of those layoffs companywide on Wednesday (Paramount Skydance owns CBS News.) The rest of the cuts are expected to be made at a later date. In all, 2,000 job reductions amount to about 10% of Paramount’s total workforce.
“These decisions are never made lightly, especially given their effect on our colleagues who have made meaningful contributions to the company,” CEO David Ellison wrote Wednesday in a memo to employees.
The prospect of job cuts has hovered over Paramount employees for some time. Ellison on Wednesday reiterated that the company has been working to restructure since the completion of its merger in August, and noted that workforce cuts are “part of that process.”
It’s not uncommon for businesses to initiate layoffs following a merger. When Skydance completed its purchase of Paramount, the combined company said it would look for “opportunities to streamline its business.” Paramount is also rumored to have interest in buying Warner Bros. Discovery, the home of HBO, CNN and DC Studios, among other brands.
Neither Paramount nor Warner has publicly confirmed talks. But Warner earlier this month signaled that it may be open to selling all or parts of its business in light of “unsolicited interest” it said it had received from multiple parties. The company has reportedly been resistant to Paramount’s initial approach. According to CNBC, which cited anonymous sources, Warner had rejected three offers from Paramount as of last week.
