RSI — a new AI acronym already being pursued

Colleagues, I'd like to share an observation from the AI field. Recursive Self-Improvement (RSI) — systems that improve themselves — is a topic of widespread debate.

— Several startups and researchers (Socher, Karpathy, Adaption) are attempting to automate the scientific cycle and model improvements.
— To date, progress has been limited to local gains: automated methods teach agents to take incremental steps but do not replace humans in core tasks.
— Experts disagree: some expect a rapid surge of progress, others predict gradual evolution constrained by compute and reliability.

Why it matters: the success of RSI will influence AI development pace and risk governance.

How soon do you think RSI will become a real force in AI development?
