The AI Scientific Revolution will be Driven by Open-Ended and AI-Generating Algorithms | Jeff Clune

Jeff Clune's talk introduces quality diversity, open-ended learning and AI-generating algorithms – and explores how foundation models like large language models are unlocking their full potential. Jeff presents recent work on systems capable of continuous, autonomous innovation, covering OMNI (Open-endedness via Models of human Notions of Interestingness), Video Pre-Training (VPT), Automatically Designing Agentic Systems (ADAS), the Darwin Gödel Machine, Hyperagents and The AI Scientist. Together, these projects represent a bold frontier in building agents that can truly keep learning and inno
