The liftoff scenario that terrifies AI doomsayers令人工智能末日预言家们恐惧的发射场景
"Recursive self-improvement" is the idea that artificial intelligence could learn to build and train itself, creating exponential new progress – and risk.

SAN FRANCISCO : In December, Edward Hughes and Louis Kirsch, two of the world’s leading artificial intelligence (AI) researchers, left Google. Their goal: to build an AI system smart enough to build a better AI system.
At their new London startup, Inherent, they now spend their days working alongside a prototype called Faraday. Named for 19th-century English physicist Michael Faraday, it gathers mountains of data capturing the daily activities of Hughes, Kirsch and Inherent’s other researchers: emails, instant messages, meeting transcripts and their ongoing chats with Faraday itself. The company then uses this data to build a better version of Faraday.

旧金山：去年12月，两位世界顶尖的人工智能（AI）研究员爱德华·休斯和路易斯·基尔希离开了谷歌。他们的目标是：构建一个足够智能的AI系统，以便构建一个更好的AI系统。
在他们位于伦敦的新创业公司 Inherent，他们现在每天都与一个名为 Faraday 的原型系统并肩工作。该系统以 19 世纪英国物理学家迈克尔·法拉第的名字命名，它收集了海量数据，记录了休斯、基尔希以及 Inherent 其他研究人员的日常活动：电子邮件、即时消息、会议记录以及他们与 Faraday 系统本身的持续对话。然后，该公司利用这些数据来构建 Faraday 系统的改进版本。
