Yi Duan · hf · 2026-09-16
A new Hugging Face paper, The Last AI Built by Humans: Toward Genuine Recursive Self-Improvement, lays out a roadmap for recursive AI self-improvement.
- Defines autonomy stages progressing toward meta-level self-improvement
- Spans domains including scientific discovery and software engineering
- Identifies practical challenges on the path
The authors argue the last AI built by humans will be one that can genuinely improve itself.
