Recursive is a developer of self-improving AI systems automating scientific discovery and artificial intelligence research. Recursive embraces the logical conclusion: the fastest path to superintelligence will be realized by AI that recursively improves itself, and does so via open-ended algorithms that drive endless innovation. The startup plans at first to focus on the science of AI itself (by creating AI that improves AI), but the playbook they create will soon allow to revolutionize every scientific discipline.
