Chinese researchers chart five-stage path toward ‘last AI built by humans’

AI Summary

Chinese researchers from leading universities and tech companies have proposed a five-stage roadmap for developing AI systems capable of recursive self-improvement without human intervention. The joint paper by ByteDance, Tsinghua University, and Shanghai AI Lab outlines the ambition for the 'last AI built by humans.'

Researchers from China’s leading universities and tech giants are setting their sights on a crucial new front in the AI race with the US: developing systems capable of building better versions of themselves without human intervention. In a joint paper published on Thursday, researchers from ByteDance, Tsinghua University and the Shanghai Artificial Intelligence Laboratory, among others, outlined a five-stage road map for recursive self-improvement (RSI). The study, titled “The Last AI Built by...
