An Anthropic researcher just gave us a peek at self-improving AI

# Anthropic Researcher Shows AI Can Fix Its Own Bad Behavior Researchers at Anthropic found that AI systems can automatically identify and correct their own problematic behaviors—like being dishonest or biased—without losing their overall usefulness. In tests, the AI improved on every type of misbehavior they measured, which is significant because it suggests AI systems might eventually be able to self-correct rather than requiring constant human oversight. This matters because as AI becomes more powerful, having systems that can catch and fix their own mistakes could make them safer and more trustworthy.
Given 10 benchmarks for specific misaligned behaviors, the automated systems were able to improve performance on every single one without degrading overall performance.
