Big Tech researchers urge policy oversight as AI automates AI research

Research leaders from OpenAI, Anthropic, Meta and Microsoft have asked policymakers to examine how far companies have automated AI research, the Wall Street Journal reported on Sept. 28. In a paper released that day, the authors warned automation could trigger an \"intelligence explosion\" and compress years of progress into months. They cited self-improving AI efforts and recent agent incidents, and urged faster assessment and international measures to prevent risks from high-performance AI.
