Recursive Self-Improvement

_{RSI is a concept in artificial intelligence where an AI system can iteratively improve its own algorithms and capabilities without human intervention. This is considered a key mechanism for achieving Artificial General Intelligence (AGI) and potentially Superintelligence.}
_{RSI is often associated with an intelligence explosion, where an AI system rapidly enhances itself beyond human comprehension or control.}

Does RSI exist?

_{True RSI doesn’t exist yet in the way it’s often imagined, where an AI autonomously rewrites and improves its own code indefinitely without human intervention.}_{What We Can Do Today
There are basic forms of self-improving AI, but none that reach full RSI:}_{Automated Fine-Tuning – AI models that retrain themselves on new data (e.g., reinforcement learning systems).}_{AutoML (Automated Machine Learning) – AI optimizing its own architecture and hyperparameters (Google’s AutoML, for example).}_{Evolutionary Algorithms – Systems that iteratively improve through selection and mutation (like NEAT for neural networks).}_{Code-Generating AI – LLMs that assist in writing better versions of their own code but don’t fully automate the feedback loop (e.g., Code Llama, Devin AI).}

What RSI Would Require

_{For real RSI, you’d need 1 thing:
AI that understands and rewrites its own core algorithms.}_{Turning on RSI would be the "easy" part. The hard part is turning on RSI that is SAFE and does not destroy humanity.}_{For safe RSI, you’d need 3 more things:
1. AI that can correctly answer any question that humanity can validate.
(H-Score 100)}_{Otherwise, the RSI will incorrectly re-code itself at the fringes of understanding. You DO NOT want any logic loopholes as RSI scales AGI to SI.}_{2. A way to test and validate the autonomous improvements. See my article on:}_{- AGI scoring dilemma}
_{- Pre-Engagement Protocol}_{Essentially only AGI will be able to regulate AGI.}_{3. Most importantly, we need to create the code that defines the immutable moral compass of the AGI. Think Asimov's Laws, but much more technical.}_{This will ultimately come down to mathematics; we will need to develop an equation that emulates what humanity exists for. See my article on:}_{- One Equation That Could Save Humanity}

Did we get it wrong?

_{Think it will be play out differently? I would love to hear your thoughts! Change my mind on X.}
