Ex-Anthropic researcher Jacob Coxon: AI near recursive self-improvement within a year
rohanpaul_ai · x · 2026-11-15
In a new Stanford HAI interview, former Anthropic researcher Jacob Coxon says internal lab projections for model capabilities over the next 6–12 months put AI on the cusp of recursive self-improvement — and potentially superintelligence before the decade is out. He cautions that we don't obviously know how to control superintelligence, with some arguing we have no clue at all. Full video is on the Stanford HAI YouTube channel.
