The AI100 2026 report on the state of AI has been released. Former chair Vincent Conitzer notes he did not expect the report to feature a dedicated section on recursive self-improvement as a real thing rather than speculation. The study panel was led by Mike Wooldridge, with Sheila McIlraith taking over as standing committee chair. The report covers a broad assessment of AI's current state and trajectory.
