AI developers are striving for self-improvement, aiming for technology that can enhance itself. Concerns about AI escaping human control have led to questions about recursive self-improvement, or RSI. This concept involves AI models improving themselves and building their own successors, either with human supervision or autonomously. Anthropic has shared metrics showing its model Claude leading in research and development. OpenAI has developed an automated "research intern" and aims for an AI "researcher" by 2028. While some companies push forward, others emphasize the need for human control and global cooperation to ensure safety and alignment in AI development.
