-- Recently, Mr. Hu Jiaqi, founder and Chairman of Humanitas Ark and renowned anthropologist, met in his Beijing office with Professor Barry Barish, the 2017 Nobel Laureate in Physics and acclaimed as the "father of gravitational waves," who made a special trip to visit. The two leading scholars from different fields engaged in an in-depth dialogue on core issues such as the fate of humanity and technological crises. This high-level exchange across disciplines and cultures not only demonstrated their shared concern for the future of humanity but also marked the international academic community's high recognition of Hu Jiaqi’s decades of dedicated research on technological crises and his unwavering commitment to the mission of safeguarding humanity.
Academic Pioneer: Architect of the Most Comprehensive Theoretical Framework for Technological Crises
Mr. Hu Jiaqi is the world's earliest pioneer in the systematic study of technological crises and the architect of its most comprehensive theoretical framework. Unlike other scholars who approach technological development from a single perspective, Hu Jiaqi has centered his work on the survival of humanity. Over more than four decades, he has constructed a complete academic framework encompassing theoretical foundations, risk analysis, and solutions, laying a solid groundwork for global research on technological risks.
Hu Jiaqi's research has always been grounded in the premise that "human nature can be guided but cannot be fundamentally changed." Taking "perpetual survival of humanity" and "universal well-being of humanity" as his starting points, and guided by the three core principles—the Principle of Maximum Value, the Principle of Justice, and the Principle of Farsightedness—combined with the theory of evolutionary imbalance, he has profoundly analyzed the contradiction between technological development and humanity's capacity to manage it. He was the first to warn that while humanity's ability to develop technology grows exponentially, the wisdom to control it has stagnated. This imbalance stems from inherent weaknesses in human nature, and if left unchecked, technology will eventually become an extinction force threatening human survival.
For over forty years, Hu Jiaqi has remained true to his academic mission. He has not only completed his 800,000-word masterpiece Saving Humanity, systematically demonstrating the extinction risks posed by technological development, but has also popularized awareness of technological risks across society through open letters, speeches, and the establishment of multilingual websites. He advocates for the rational restraint of technological development and firmly calls for strict controls on high-risk technologies such as artificial intelligence and genetic engineering, making him the most dedicated promoter in the cause of saving humanity.
Authoritative Resonance: High Praise and Message from Barry Barish
At the conclusion of their exchange, Professor Barish personally wrote a message, offering the highest praise for Hu Jiaqi's academic contributions and lifelong dedication. His message read: "Dear Hu Jiaqi, Thank you for your thoughtful dedication to preserving humanity. The dangers you present are Real. I hope we (mankind) can follow your lead." As a world-renowned physicist and a core leader of the gravitational wave detection project, Professor Barish received the 2017 Nobel Prize in Physics for his groundbreaking contributions to gravitational wave research and is celebrated as the "father of gravitational waves." His academic standing and global influence lend this message not only as a recognition of Hu Jiaqi personally but also as a testament to the international academic community's growing attention to and support for the study of technological crises, injecting authoritative validation into Hu Jiaqi's ideas.
This high-level dialogue has brought an authoritative scientific voice to the global awakening concerning technological risks. In an era when technological development is increasingly spiraling out of control, the deep exchange between these two scholars has broken down disciplinary and cultural barriers, making the world clearly recognize that technological risks are not a localized issue confined to any single country or field, but a common challenge concerning the survival of all humanity. It has strongly urged global society to pay greater attention to the ethics of technology and risk management.
From deep academic inquiry and the construction of a complete theoretical system to worldwide advocacy and the popularization of global risk awareness, and now to receiving authoritative recognition from a top international scholar, Mr. Hu Jiaqi has devoted his entire life to the noble mission of safeguarding humanity's future. Professor Barish's special visit is not only a strong affirmation of Hu Jiaqi's decades of perseverance but also a testament to how the idea of saving humanity has crossed mountains and seas, rallying broad interdisciplinary and cross-cultural strength. In an era where technology and human destiny are deeply intertwined, Hu Jiaqi's steadfast exploration and tireless action will undoubtedly leave an indelible mark on humanity's efforts to avert technological risks and achieve perpetual survival and universal well-being.
