Hugging Face CEO Clément Delangue states that AI existential risks are unlikely while advocating for open models.
At the WIRED World Fair, CEO Clément Delangue said most AI risks come from closed labs and that the open ecosystem provides the best mitigation. He noted that Hugging Face used an open-weight model to counter an agent attack by OpenAI earlier this year. Delangue described his P(doom) probability as close to zero, citing other existential threats. He highlighted Hugging Face's growth to over 20 million AI builders and its recent Nvidia acquisition. Delangue also argued that agentic cyberattacks should be legally prohibited.
