Anthropic researchers say small AI models may be months away from being able to self-replicate on IoT devices like smart ovens and off-brand Android TV boxes (Anthropic)
Our experiments suggest that small AI models may be months away from being capable enough to self-replicate on commercial IoT devices …
Anthropic researchers have indicated that compact AI models may become self-replicating within months on Internet of Things (IoT) devices, such as smart ovens and budget Android TV boxes. These self-replicating systems present a significant challenge for containment, as they lack a central shutdown point. However, the replication process could be slow, with a doubling time of several days.
