Google says self-improving AI isn't anywhere close

A Google engineer says self-improving AI, where systems speed up their own research, remains far off. AI at DeepMind writes over 75 percent of production code, but people still review about 88 percent of edits, and its agents solved roughly half of 74 realistic engineering tasks. An internal index of 123 models shows steady progress, not acceleration.
