[ExI] Self-evolving AI

What is ‘self-evolving AI’? And why is it so scary?
As AI systems edge closer to modifying themselves, business leaders
face a compressed timeline that could outpace their ability to
maintain control.

Quotes:
What is self-evolving AI? Well, as the name suggests, it’s AI that
improves itself—AI systems that optimize their own prompts, tweak the
algorithms that drive them, and continually iterate and enhance their
capabilities.

One of the central risks created by self-evolving AI is the risk of AI take-off.

Traditionally, AI take-off refers to the process by which going from a
certain threshold of capability (often discussed as “human-level”) to
being superintelligent and capable enough to control the fate of
civilization.

As we said above, we think that the problem of take-off is actually
more broadly applicable, and specifically important for business. Why?

The basic point is simple—self-evolving AI means AI systems that
improve themselves. And this possibility isn’t restricted to broader
AI systems that mimic human intelligence. It applies to virtually all
AI systems, even ones with narrow domains, for example AI systems that
are designed exclusively for managing production lines or making
financial predictions and so on.

Just another AI thing to worry about while we charge onwards.........
