Silicon Valley Wants to Build A.I. That Can Improve A.I. on Its Own

Ricursive Intelligence, founded by two former Google researchers and valued at $4 billion, is among several efforts to automate the creation of artificial intelligence.

This notion of recursive intelligence is of course an essential
prerequisite for the singularity to happen. I wish people would limit
the scope of that to small-scale experiments, rather than kicking off
the singularity by building it. Someone will end up building it
anyway, one day, but let's not be the turkey that calls for an early
Christmas. More time, means more chance of figuring out the "alignment
problem", of ensuring the best outcome for us as a species.
