AI Verified The quote is supported by reliable, official sources. The Future of Life Institute’s official press release attributes this exact wording to Prince Harry, Duke of Sussex: “The future of AI should serve humanity, not replace it. The true test of progress will be not how fast we move, but how wisely we steer.” ([futureoflife.org](https://futureoflife.org/press-release/prominent-scientists-faith-leaders-policymakers-and-artists-call-for-a-prohibition-on-superintelligence/)) The source URL’s search snippet and the official Archewell page also show the same shorter wording. Some later media reports (AP and TIME) give a longer variant adding “I believe … There is no second chance,” but that does not negate the existence of this exact shorter form in official sources.
