Google CEO Sundar Pichai discussed recursive self-improvement (RSI) on the Big Technology Podcast:
- "RSI is a critical contributor as we develop Argon, but to be very clear, we are far from the end state of RSI."
- He framed the current state as RSI loops alongside AI researchers, with agents automatically helping researchers build these models.
- The interview also covered Google's frontier AI strategy, balancing DeepMind's compute needs vs. Google Cloud profits, whether AI is overbuilt, world models and the path to AGI, Apple, and space data centers.
