Recursive self-improvement (RSI) is a process in which an artificial intelligence (AI) system iteratively designs a more capable successor. This may trigger an intelligence explosion, potentially resulting in the creation of an artificial superintelligence. As of 2026, various RSI-related projects are ongoing and AI companies are increasingly using AI for coding and research, but some human work is still needed and may become a bottleneck.
