This research update examines economic models predicting whether AI development will accelerate via feedback loops between model capabilities and R&D improvements, directly addressing the forecasting of frontier AI risks. By clarifying ambiguous definitions of recursive self-improvement to focus on "self-sustaining acceleration," the authors provide critical context for assessing the trajectory of future AI capabilities.
The Economics of Recursive Self-Improvement
Notes are unpolished research updates directly from METR researchers, and have gone through less review than our research posts. They do not necessarily reflect the views of METR as a whole. We (Parker and Tom) recently coauthored a paper, “The Economics of Recursive Self-Improvement”, with 7 other economists. The paper walks through a series of simple models of how AI may accelerate AI R&D, and we thought it’s worth highlighting some context and takeaways: We care about Recursive Self-Improvement (RSI) because we want to forecast capabilities. METR’s priority is to assess risk from frontier AI development, and one input is how capable AI systems…
