Former AI100 chair: 2026 report covers recursive self-improvement “as a real thing”

Eric Horvitz says AI100’s 2026 report is out. Former chair @conitzer highlights an unexpected inclusion: a section on recursive self-improvement “as a real thing.” They say they hadn’t expected that when their term ended in 2025. AI100’s site gives the report’s full title as “AI Goes Mainstream: The Scaling Era and the Rise of Generative AI.”
