On November 5, at the WIRED World Expo in Miami, Clement Delangue, CEO of the open-source AI platform Hugging Face, said the probability of AI causing human extinction is close to zero. He believes that, compared with fears of AI destroying the world, the more realistic risk is that a handful of large companies are secretly developing frontier models behind closed doors. The main risk of AI, he argues, does not come from the open ecosystem but from a small number of participants building in isolation. In his view, the key to reducing risk is to let more developers openly build, review, and improve models, forming an ecosystem of mutual checks and balances; open-weight models are not only a technical choice but also a means of preventing a few companies from monopolizing talent, computing power, and AI capabilities. Delangue also revealed that Hugging Face's AI developer community has surpassed 20 million — up from the approximately 18 million users disclosed when Nvidia announced its acquisition of the company. The company has also sold 50,000 Microducks, bipedal robots that can be programmed through AI.
