Hugging Face CEO says AI extinction risk is near zero, warns about concentrated control

According to Clément Delangue, the CEO of Hugging Face, the odds that AI will wipe out humanity stand at “close to zero.” Delangue spoke at the WIRED World Fair in Miami on Wednesday and expressed that a far bigger threat is posed by a few companies that are working in secrecy on cutting-edge solutions. Delangue’s comments prompt a bigger question for the AI sector: as the technology gets increasingly successful and lucrative, who will have the power to control it? A personal number, not a measured one Delangue’s P(doom)—the odds that AI could wipe out humanity—is just a personal estimate and not something that has yet been measured scientifically.
