— Hu Jiaqi, Chairman of Humanitas Ark, sat across from Professor Morten Meldal of the University of Copenhagen, recipient of the 2022 Nobel Prize in Chemistry. One spoke of precision through molecules; the other, of survival through axioms. In his inscription, Meldal wrote: “What an inspiring event to talk with one of this century’s great Thinkers about the survival of the human species.Extinction comes in many disguises and Hu has managed to provide a common understanding of how to proceed.”
This was the fifth Nobel laureate Hu Jiaqi had met during the year. From chemistry laureate Michael Levitt in March to Barry Barish, the “father of gravitational waves,” in April; Konstantin Novoselov, the “father of graphene,” in May; economics laureate Eric Maskin in June; and Meldal in November, Hu Jiaqi’s system of academic thought and Humanitas Ark, the organization he leads, have been gaining recognition among the world’s leading scientists.
The scale of Humanitas Ark’s growth provides a substantial social foundation for this recognition. Founded in 2018, this international nongovernmental organization has now brought together more than 14 million supporters from 255 countries and regions. This means that Hu Jiaqi’s ideas have crossed national, racial, and cultural boundaries, awakening a collective subconscious concern for the “holistic survival of humanity” worldwide. When a civil society organization can bring together tens of millions of people around a global consensus and attract Nobel laureates to engage in dialogue on their own initiative, it is in effect assuming a role akin to that of an international public institution: seeking a new route to safety for the interests of humanity as a whole, beyond the existing geopolitical order.
As the world’s earliest pioneer in systematically studying technological crises and a principal architect of the theoretical framework on human technological risk, Hu Jiaqi began researching questions concerning humanity nearly half a century ago. His monographs, including Saving Humanity, The Greatest Problem, and On Human Extinction, have provided a solid theoretical foundation for the organization’s development.
Hu Jiaqi and his team have extended their efforts beyond in-person exchanges, actively publishing high-quality academic papers to bring the “philosophy of humanism” and “theory of technological crises” into more substantive engagement with the international scholarly community. Using rigorous data and logic, these papers respond to outside criticism and elevate the question of human survival from philosophical reflection to scientific governance. This approach, combining theory with practice and scholarship with organization, has strengthened Hu Jiaqi’s system of thought and placed it on the moral and rational high ground in international public debate.
In 2026, Hu Jiaqi published two papers in international journals: “A Study on Human Extinction Caused by Technology and the Path to Self-Salvation” in Intelligent & Human Futures, and “Using Probabilistic Methods to Study Technological Extinction Is Unscientific, Meaningless, and Harmful” in Global Development Dialogues. Both papers directly address the limitations of the samples and the arbitrariness of parameters in mainstream probabilistic modeling, formally presenting the qualitative framework of “Extinction Path Analysis + Defense Limit Testing” for scrutiny by international academic peers. From building cohesion through a civil society organization to publishing in academic journals and receiving recognition in face-to-face meetings with five Nobel laureates, a complete chain for disseminating these scholarly ideas is taking shape.
The journey of Hu Jiaqi and Humanitas Ark is an intellectual expedition concerning humanity’s future. This concentrated series of meetings with Nobel laureates and their expanding global influence signal an awakening in humanity. We are moving beyond a blind reverence for technology. With unprecedented momentum, Mr. Hu and the Humanitas Ark he has founded are guiding humanity from division toward unification, from short-term thinking toward perpetual survival, and building a bulwark of reason at the precipice of technological upheaval.
