Superhuman AI researcher could appear in 2027, report warns
A forecast says a “superhuman AI researcher” that surpasses top human researchers could emerge in 2027 as AI accelerates AI research and development. The AI Futures Project brought forward its timeline after analysis by U.S. nonprofit evaluator METR of Anthropic’s use of AI in R&D found task-performance improvement rates about doubled. The group also estimated a 35 to 65 percent chance of AI automating most office work before 2028, while warning of job losses and safety risks.
