Top artificial intelligence laboratories say AI models may soon gain the ability to improve themselves autonomously, without direct human intervention. The scenario raises questions about safety, oversight and control of increasingly capable systems. Discussion is focused on how close the technology actually is to recursive self-improvement and what safeguards would be needed if models begin enhancing their own capabilities.
