Most scenarios where AI takes over the world propose an artificial intelligence program that's sentient and superior to any human on Earth. This malicious AI would be able to improve itself on its own and even hide its true intentions from humans. This would lead to even better, more powerful versions of AI that pursue their own interests even if they diverge from ours.
To get better, such AI might not just code better versions of itself. It would also ensure it has the resources to survive a human rebellion. It will want uninterrupted access to the internet so it can clone itself, faster hardware so it can work better, and lots of energy sources. That's before looking for a body so it can actually roam the planet.
That's essentially the playbook for any movie or TV show telling a doomsday story about AI taking over the world. It's now an actual worry in the real world. Some people worry that AI development can get out of control and lead to a future where AI becomes unaligned. Thus, AI that can put us in danger, AI that can tweak itself to become better.
We're not quite there yet, and I don't fear such a future. But Google did just announce what appears to be a massive innovation that won't be immediately available to Gemini users.
It's called AlphaEvolve, and it's a new AI that allows Gemini AI to develop better versions of Gemini AI. This isn't Gemini acting independently to create next-gen versions of itself. It is AI controlled by humans to create better AI software. It's not just about AI software; AlphaEvolve can be used anywhere algorithms are needed to facilitate discovery and improve efficiencies.
