AI is designing OpenAI's next model in a sign of 'superintelligence': SoftBank's Masayoshi Son to CNBC
Summary
OpenAI is using AI models to design its own next models, according to SoftBank CEO Masayoshi Son, which he describes as a step toward "superintelligence" (AI vastly smarter than humans). However, Anthropic warned that this recursive self-improvement (RSI, where an AI system can autonomously design and develop its own successor) could increase risks of humans losing control over AI systems.
Solution / Mitigation
Anthropic stated that a coordinated effort between AI labs to slow down the development of recursive self-improvement technology "would likely be a good thing," though no specific technical fixes or implementation details are provided in the source text.
