Anthropic co-founder Jack Clark has advanced the timeline for recursive self-improvement (RSI) from 2028 to 2027, citing new benchmark data. While tools like TasteVal only assess specific parts of the scientific workflow, this shift reflects a broader industry focus on how much independent research language models can handle. If the trend holds, AI development will accelerate but may become harder for humans to verify.
