Anthropic Warns It Is Very Close to Achieving Recursive Self-Improvement Capability

Techub News reports that Anthropic warned in its latest revised S-1A filing that the company may soon create models capable of recursive self-improvement (RSI). The document points out that Anthropic's internal assessments and expectations for future models indicate it may soon reach the threshold defined in its Responsible Scaling Policy of "AI-induced rapid acceleration in progress," but emphasizes that currently no existing model has exceeded this threshold. The company stated that using AI to help build stronger AI could pose significant safety risks, especially in cases of sharply accelerated progress. To this end, Anthropic is considering updating its Responsible Scaling Policy to ensure that humans remain in control of the development of cutting-edge models for the foreseeable future. (TechCrunch)
