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…
The race for AI supremacy between labs, companies and countries may be impossible to reconcile with the push for AI safety, industry insiders tell Axios. Why it matters: The top AI companies are proposing more independent oversight as they seek to engineer an AI slowdown . But trillions of dollars in incentives to keep pushing the frontier — and the money required for such scaling — will always loom larger, critics say.
