Anthropic Researchers Demonstrate Automated Self-Improvement in AI Systems

Researchers at Anthropic have published work demonstrating that AI systems can autonomously improve their behavior across a range of alignment-related benchmarks. In experiments using 10 distinct benchmarks measuring specific misaligned behaviors, automated systems successfully improved performance on every benchmark without degrading general capability. The research addresses a longstanding challenge in

Pope Francis Raises Alarm on AI Power Concentration Outpacing State Control

Pope Francis has expressed concern that states are finding it increasingly difficult to manage the concentration of power in the artificial intelligence sector.
