Most AI systems today are stuck in a “cage” designed by humans. But what if AI could learn and improve its own capabilities without human intervention? The Darwin-Gödel Machine (DGM) is a self-improving AI system that optimizes its own problem-solving strategy through a combination of Darwinian evolution and Gödelian self-improvement. If this trend continues, we may witness a Cambrian explosion in AI development, where eventually AI systems will surpass human-designed architectures and give rise to entirely new species of digital intelligence. Emergent Intelligence: Need to develop new approaches to understand and interpret AI systems that evolve beyond human-designed complexity, including new fields like “AI interpretability” and “AI psychology”.
