⏳ AI 2027 authors now expect a "superhuman AI researcher" next year
The AI Futures Project, the forecasters behind the "AI 2027" scenario, says all its members now expect an AI that matches top human researchers and fully automates coding to arrive at some point in 2027, unless labs deliberately slow down. The biggest driver was a METR report estimating Anthropic's AI progress is running about twice its historical pace, with roughly 80% of that speed-up due to AI itself. The group notes Anthropic redacted much of the evidence and calls for an industry-wide pause.
⭐ One of the most watched AI forecasting groups just pulled its timelines in sharply, adding pressure on labs and governments.
