What if automating AI R&D triggers an intelligence explosion?

The article examines whether increasing automation of AI research and development could trigger an intelligence explosion, compressing years of progress into months. It reviews preliminary evidence suggesting such acceleration is possible, discusses potential benefits and extreme risks—including loss of control over superhuman AI and erosion of checks on power—and calls for urgent policy action. The authors argue that, despite uncertainties, the high stakes demand serious attention and proactive measures.
