Anthropic Warns AI Systems May Soon Self-Improve Without Human Input
Anthropic warns that AI development is accelerating so rapidly that AI systems may soon be able to build, train, and improve themselves without human input. The company notes that AI model improvement has been roughly doubling every four months, and agents can already run code and delegate tasks to other agents. Anthropic recommends slowing down development to address these concerns.
