AI pioneer Jürgen Schmidhuber shares deep insights into the current AI ecosystem. He argues that recursive self-improvement (RSI) research won't create a moat for large model labs and predicts that current data centers may face massive depreciation.
Furthermore, he expresses fewer concerns about AI safety, exploring pathways to superhuman AI, the theory of artificial curiosity, and AI's application potential in scientific fields like chemistry and carbon capture.
