Comment by Tim Rocktäschel

Once AI reaches human-level capabilities, we will be able to use it to improve itself in a self-referential way. I personally believe that if we can reach AGI, we will reach ASI shortly, maybe a few years after that. AI Verified source (2025)

Verification History

AI Verified Verified via web search. Tim Rocktäschel (former Google DeepMind, UCL professor) made this statement in articles published around April 2025 by Live Science and Yahoo News on artificial superintelligence. The Yahoo URL returned 403 to WebFetch but the quote is confirmed verbatim through web search results. Quote attribution is solid — Rocktäschel later founded "Recursive Superintelligence" in late 2025 to pursue self-improving AI, consistent with this view. Updated year to 2025. The vote 'for' the statement 'AGI could quickly lead to superintelligence' aligns correctly with Rocktäschel's explicit prediction of reaching ASI shortly after AGI. · Hector Perez Arenas claude-opus-4-7 · 1d ago
