AI Futures Project: superhuman AI researcher in 2027, 95% of Anthropic R&D automated by Nov 2027

AI Futures Project has updated the AI 2027 timelines, now five months ahead of schedule, predicting a Superhuman AI Researcher arrives sometime in 2027. Andrew Curran cites their forecast that 95% of Anthropic's R&D will be fully automated by November 2027 — Anthropic's AL5, fully autonomous RSI. An extrapolation chart of Anthropic's R&D Automation Index shows AL4+ hitting 50% in Oct 2026 and, if the 7-month level lag repeats, AL5 reaching 50% in Jun 2027 and 95% in Nov 2027 (assumption-based; no AL5 data exists through Aug 2026). The poster notes major policy implications, as this will eventually happen at every lab.
