A report from Gladstone AI, shared in advance with TIME and based on conversations with about half a dozen researchers inside top AI companies, says the companies are actively working to automate every part of AI development, from generating ideas to running experiments and interpreting results. Most of those insiders believe recursive self-improvement will begin within the next 3 to 12 months, possibly sooner, absent U.S. government intervention or a slowdown. The report stresses that compute limits how many AI-generated ideas labs can test at scale, so the cost of filtering out bad ideas matters, and Gladstone CEO Jeremie Harris says the aim is to help Washington understand which process needs regulating.
