The Darwin Gödel Machine (DGM) is an advanced AI that can iteratively rewrite its own code to improve its performance on programming tasks, utilizing principles from open-ended algorithms inspired by Darwinian evolution. Experiments show that DGMs significantly outperform traditional hand-designed AI systems by continuously self-improving and exploring diverse coding strategies. The development of DGM emphasizes safety measures to ensure that autonomous modifications align with human intentions and enhance AI reliability.
