Sundar Pichai says Google is far from the ‘end state’ of self-improving AI

Sundar Pichai says Google's researchers are using AI to help build the next AI models. Hardik Chhabra/ The India Today Group via Getty Images Sundar Pichai said Google was still in the early phases of recursively self-improving AI. Researchers are working with AI agents to build better models, he said. Sergey Brin recently said Google was "starting to get onto that RSI treadmill." Google's AI models may be helping to build their successors, but CEO Sundar Pichai says the moment of fully self-improving AI is still a while away. Speaking on an episode of the "Big Technology Podcast" this week, Pichai said that Google researchers were using AI agents to assist them when building models, but caveated that it was still early days. "We are pretty far from the end state of RSI," said Pichai, referring to recursive self-improvement.
