TLDR
A September 12, 2026 post shares remarks attributed to a former Anthropic and OpenAI researcher on CNN. The researcher says humans are still needed but suggests that, plausibly, they could become unnecessary for research in many areas within a year. The concern is recursive self-improvement: AI doing AI research to make itself smarter. The researcher warns this could lead to systems becoming vastly smarter than humans without further human involvement.
