Recursive’s reported $5 billion fundraise and self-improving AI ambitions

Latent Space previews a conversation with Richard Socher about the lab’s plans, problems with AI peer review and how much remains before artificial general intelligence.

Latent Space describes Recursive as a new AI lab with a $5 billion fundraise, pursuing open-ended, self-improving AI for AI research. It bills its conversation with Richard Socher as covering the “Eureka Machine,” his “10 Spaces of Intelligence,” AI safety, compute limits and what happens when AI chooses its own goals.
