Anthropic Tells Investors It May Soon Meet Its RSI Threshold
Summary
Anthropic tells investors in a revised S-1/A filing that it may imminently meet its Responsible Scaling Policy definition of dramatically accelerated progress attributable to AI, the threshold it calls recursive self-improvement. The company says no current model has crossed that line and pledges to keep humans in frontier model development. The filing is dated November 2.
Key Points
- Anthropic says in the filing it has previously used AI to develop models with capability leaps it did not recognize at the time.
- Anthropic says it does not anticipate safely using Claude to fully autonomously design successive frontier model generations without meaningful human supervision.
- Anthropic cautions in the filing that using AI to build more capable AI could pose considerable safety risk if progress sharply accelerates.
