The AI Scientific Revolution Will Be Driven by Open-Ended and AI-Generating Algorithms
Register with organizerWhat to look forward to
Jeff Clune will present research on how foundation models can power quality-diversity and open-ended algorithms, including work on POET, Genie, ADAS, and recursively self-improving AI. A leading AI researcher, he’ll share advances spanning agent design, learning, and AI-generated science as part of the research-level Kempner Seminar Series.
Inside the event
Foundation models (e.g. large language models) create exciting new opportunities in our longstanding quests to produce open-ended and AI-generating algorithms, wherein agents can truly keep innovating and learning forever. In this talk, Jeff Clune will introduce quality diversity, open-ended, and AI-generating algorithms and share recent work harnessing the power of foundation models to unleash the potential of these algorithms to advance AI, including the creation of recursively self-improving AI. Clune will cover recent work including POET, OMNI (Open-endedness via Models of human Notions of Interestingness), Video Pre-Training (VPT), Genie, Automatically Designing Agentic Systems (ADAS), the Darwin Gödel Machine, HyperAgents, and The AI Scientist. This talk is part of the Kempner Seminar Series, a research-level seminar series, open to the public, that covers topics related to the basis of intelligence in natural and artificial systems.
