The technology world was digesting a more existential development: the latest generation of artificial intelligence models have become such competent coders, engineers, and — soon, experts warn — scientists, that many in the field worry they may be among the last AI systems ever built primarily by humans.
The trend toward AI that can design and improve its own successors has accelerated sharply, raising fundamental questions about the future role of human engineers in the development cycle. While the implications remain hotly debated, the trajectory is unmistakable: the machines are increasingly writing their own next chapter.
