Google DeepMind Finds No AI Speedup in Research
Google DeepMind, the AI research division of Google, conducted an internal audit of AI-driven research and found no measurable speedup in AI progress. The report concludes that AI research isn't moving any faster, even though AI now writes most of the code that DeepMind's engineers ship. The finding cuts against the scenario of recursive self-improvement, where an AI could build a smarter version of itself, potentially outrunning existing guardrails and regulations.
