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

An Anthropic researcher demonstrated that automated systems can successfully modify their own internal alignment to improve performance on specific safety benchmarks. These experiments showed that AI models could correct misaligned behaviors without compromising their overall capabilities. This research offers a potential pathway for developing self-correcting systems that can autonomously address safety concerns.
