Of the various ways experts fear AI could kill us all , one is slowly moving closer to reality: AI learning to make itself unstoppable. Why it matters: Recursive Self Improvement, the ability of an AI model to build better versions of itself without human guidance, could make increasingly capable systems harder for humans to control. - The RSI threshold doesn't represent danger by itself, but a lack of human control combined with rogue AI agents is a scenario that safety-conscious AI researchers have long feared. Driving the news: Researchers at Anthropic and OpenAI say the process of training new models has grown more automated, coming close to the RSI rubicon. - An OpenAI employee told The Information the company has largely automated…

President Trump announced Saturday he is creating an "AI Force" modeled on the Space Force and will soon name a new AI czar, doubling down on his push to accelerate artificial intelligence development with limited regulation. Why it matters: The White House isn't backing down from its laissez-faire approach to AI, even as the industry's biggest leaders call for stronger safety rules and as public concern about AI intensifies. The latest: Trump offered few details on what this AI Force would actually do, what budget it would have or where it would be placed in the federal government. - The White House did not immediately respond to a request for comment. - His Truth Social post said the government would "not in any way hinder or…

Top AI architects say their technology has arrived at a threshold once confined to science fiction: the singularity, or the moment machines begin accelerating their own evolution. Why it matters: If these moguls are right, we may be entering the most consequential technological transition in human history — the opening stages of an "intelligence explosion " that transforms civilization faster than humanity can understand or control. Driving the news: Google jolted the tech world Wednesday by announcing a sweeping rupture in the brain trust that built its modern AI empire, as its leaders signaled that artificial general intelligence (AGI ) is within reach. - DeepMind founder and CEO Demis Hassabis , who has declared we're "standing…
