VisitAI Scientist Sparks Recursive Self-Improvement Debate, Turing Test Suggested
Aug 13, 2024, 11:15 AM
A new system, referred to as The AI Scientist, has been developed to automatically generate scientific papers with novel contributions in machine learning research domains, including language modeling, diffusion, and grokking. This development has sparked discussions about the potential for recursive self-improvement in AI, which could lead to uncontrollable AI and possible risks to humanity. One of the papers, identified as 2408.06292, is 185 pages long. The system's capability has prompted suggestions for the machine learning community to adopt a 'Scientist Turing Test' to distinguish between AI and human-generated research papers.
