MIT's Recursive Meta-Intelligence: AI Builds Worlds Where Hundreds of Agents Reason
ProfBuehlerMIT · x · 2026-09-16
MIT professor Markus Buehler describes "recursive meta-intelligence": an AI that creates its own scientific instruments, turns them into persistent worlds inhabited by an ecology of hundreds of AI agents, and uses those worlds to uncover mechanistic principles of how complex hierarchical materials evolve and fail. Commentators note agent swarms can now explore subspaces previously infeasible for human labor — intelligence expands by constructing new spaces to think in.
