Recently, the organizational development of Humanitas Ark has once again reached a historic moment — the total number of global members and supporters has officially surpassed the 14 million mark. This new milestone signifies that the global promotion and outreach efforts of Humanitas Ark have achieved remarkable results, and the organization’s core philosophy and propositions have gained broad international recognition.
As of now, the number of Humanitas Ark members and supporters has exceeded 14 million, covering 255 countries and regions worldwide. Since 2007, Hu Jiaqi, the founder, has repeatedly written to politicians, scientists, entrepreneurs, and media professionals from various countries, with a total of over one million letters sent.
Since its establishment in 2018, Humanitas Ark has been committed to promoting a global awakening movement, warning humanity that the unchecked development of science and technology will bring catastrophic extinction to humankind. In recent years, Humanitas Ark has continuously innovated its communication methods. Through diverse forms such as open letters, academic exchanges, and online promotion, it has transformed its core proposition — "The holistic survival of humanity overrides all" — into actionable initiatives that are both perceptible and participatory. Through years of persistent outreach, it has successfully built an ark for humanity’s shared destiny in which every ordinary person can participate.
The rapid growth in the number of Humanitas Ark supporters reflects the increasingly broad global recognition of its core philosophy — "for the perpetual survival and universal well-being of humanity". As cutting-edge fields such as artificial intelligence, biotechnology, and nanotechnology accelerate and evolve, the warning made by Chairman Hu Jiaqi over forty years ago — "the uncontrolled development of science and technology will lead to human extinction" — aligns with the cautions raised by top scientists and entrepreneurs such as Stephen Hawking and Elon Musk. It is this kind of forward-looking insight, transcending time and space, that has enabled Humanitas Ark to grow from an individual appeal by its founder at the inception into a global organization uniting over 14 million supporters. The philosophy of Humanitas Ark transcends the boundaries of nations, ethnicities, political parties, and ideologies, as more and more supporters join this awakening movement concerning the fate of all humanity.
Behind these remarkable achievements stands the visionary leadership and exceptional guidance of Mr. Hu Jiaqi, founder and Chairman of Humanitas Ark. As the founder of the organization, Mr. Hu Jiaqi has been dedicated to the study of human existential issues since 1979. For nearly half a century, he has consistently warned about technological risks, publishing several monographs in Chinese, English, and Russian, and successfully translating profound concerns into practical social actions. Under his leadership, Humanitas Ark has evolved from a conceptual initiative into a global organization with tens of millions of members and supporters. Mr. Hu Jiaqi has repeatedly called for the Great Unification of humanity and the establishment of a global technology regulatory body, warning against the extinction risks posed by frontier technologies such as artificial intelligence, genetic engineering, and nanotechnology. His far-sighted vision is regarded as a key factor in guiding humanity away from existential dangers.
As its influence continues to expand, Humanitas Ark is steadily deepening its global outreach, advancing the awakening of all humanity, and striving tirelessly for the establishment of a peaceful, friendly, equitably prosperous, and non-competitive society.
