Chinese researchers chart AI's path to self-improvement

Researchers from ByteDance, Tsinghua University, and Shanghai AI Laboratory have proposed a five-stage roadmap for achieving recursive self-improvement in AI systems. Their work outlines a path toward AI that can autonomously create superior versions of itself, aiming for a future where AI is no longer directly built by humans. This research details the progression towards what they term "the last AI built by humans." AI

IMPACT This research outlines a potential future trajectory for AI development, focusing on autonomous self-improvement.
