Prince Harry and Meghan Markle are calling for a halt to certain AI developments, urging that progress be guided safely and with broad public consensus. They joined over 700 public figures in warning against superintelligence. As stated on the Archewell Foundation website, “Superintelligence is defined as artificial intelligence capable of outperforming all humans at most cognitive tasks.” Meanwhile, Netflix pushes ahead, using AI to enhance recommendations, improve content discovery, and localize promotional materials, turning a shared fascination into a clash between caution and unrestrained innovation.

As the couple remains critical of AI, Netflix is pushing the boundaries of AI in filmmaking and advertising. Creators used AI to de-age characters in Happy Gilmore 2 and plan sets and wardrobe for Billionaires’ Bunker. In ads, AI optimizes placement, generates creative content, and speeds up media planning. The streaming giant continues to iterate and innovate, turning cautious stewardship and bold ambition into an unmistakable clash. However, the story between Markle and Netflix extends beyond the AI debate, as the Duchess recently broke her silence on her deal with the platform.
