“AI Scientists” and the Future of Open-Ended AI Experimentation

What happens when you let AI learn by inventing and exploring novel ideas? How about an AI program that invents and builds AI agents? WIRED shares how researchers are testing the limits of artificial intelligence.

Featuring incremental improvements on existing algorithms and ideas, they read like the contents of a middling AI conference or journal.

But the research is, in fact, remarkable. That’s because it’s entirely the work of an “AI scientist” developed at the UBC lab together with researchers from the University of Oxford and a startup called Sakana AI.
