Will AI models achieve the ability to improve autonomously? Leading labs say the scenario is near – WTOP News
Claude now completes most tasks end-to-end under human supervision, as Anthropic says the model now handles 26% of its research and development work.
- Anthropic detailed this week how its model Claude is helping develop the next version of itself, with Claude now leading 26% of the company's model research and development under human supervision.
- Offering to slow work if competitors act in a 'verifiable manner,' Anthropic has advocated for pacing in AI development, though divisions exist among major industry players regarding their path forward.
- Developers describe the technology as approaching 'Recursive self-improvement,' or RSI, where models build their successors; physics professor Anthony Aguirre notes AI operates much faster than humans, accelerating the process.
- OpenAI announced this month an automated 'research intern' system for well-defined research tasks, aiming for a fully autonomous AI researcher by March 2028 while emphasizing the need to preserve human control.
- While automation advances, critics like John Thickstun, assistant professor at Cornell University, warn of risks from runaway superintelligence; Microsoft AI CEO Mustafa Suleyman advocates for 'humanist superintelligence' within carefully calibrated limits.

Will AI models achieve the ability to improve autonomously? Leading labs say the scenario is near – WTOP News
Once a distant ambition for technology researchers, the prospect of artificial intelligence models teaching themselves autonomously to be more efficient and capable appears ever closer to reality. As the technology advances, developers say it is approaching “recursive self-improvement,” or RSI, in which AI models find ways to improve themselves and build their successor. It could...
