This is exactly the point: recursive self-improvement is not only a technical question, but a governance question. Even before AI systems become capable of designing their own successors, we already see a more immediate issue: AI is accelerating the pace at which humans build AI. That compression of time matters. Safety frameworks, public understanding, institutional oversight, and clinical or scientific validation do not scale as quickly as code generation. The opportunity is enormous, especially for medicine and research. But the central question is not whether AI can improve AI. It is whether human institutions can remain capable of understanding, auditing, and steering that process before the gap becomes too large.
