One tantalizing path toward that goal is an AI that improves itself by rewriting its own code, including any code responsible for learning. That idea, known as a Gödel Machine, proposed by Jürgen Schmidhuber decades ago, is a hypothetical self-improving AI., We introduce the Darwin Gödel Machine (DGM), a self-improving system that iteratively modifies its own code (thereby also improving its ability to modify its own codebase) and empirically validates each change using coding benchmarks., In April, Microsoft’s CEO said that artificial intelligence now wrote close to a third of the company’s code. Last October, Google’s CEO put their number at around a quarter. Other tech companies can’t be far off. Meanwhile, these firms create AI that will presumably be used to help programmers further. Researchers have long hoped to fully close the loop, creating coding agents that , Discover how MIT’s SEAL AI overcomes limits, rewrites its code, and adapts autonomously. A game-changer for artificial intelligence., Darwin-Gödel Machine builds an archive of agents through open-ended exploration, with each agent iteratively improving itself with self-modification and downstream task evaluation., .
