Recursive AI, a new startup from famed researcher Richard Socher, is in discussions for a funding round that would value the company at $4 billion. The lab aims to build superintelligent AI that can improve itself autonomously.

An opinion piece in USA Today by an AI professor argues that the pursuit of AI superintelligence poses an existential risk to humanity. The author calls for international agreements to halt the production of advanced AI chips, highlighting the critical role of companies like TSMC and ASML in the AI hardware supply chain.
