Lila Sciences releases open-endedness research agenda with 4 preprints
tw_killian · x · 2026-11-10
Kenneth Stanley's Open-Endedness Team at Lila Sciences announced its first fundamental AI research release: a vision-focused blog plus 4 preprints. Key ideas include a novel creativity-training approach that sidesteps the newly identified "creative paradox" (directly reinforcing creative outputs can limit creative potential), and an investigation of whether training an intentionally naïve LLM helps it see the world with fresh eyes. Each paper opens its own novel research direction toward open-endedness.
