Google DeepMind says no evidence AI self-improvement is accelerating, diverging from industry warnings
Google DeepMind said it has not confirmed that AI is producing more advanced AI or that internal AI research is accelerating in a meaningful way. In a safety report on Gemini 4 Argon, it said no statistically significant change in progress has appeared since April 1, 2026, even though AI writes more than 75 percent of production code. It said automation remains limited and largely requires human direction, while some industry figures warn recursive self-improvement is already speeding up.
