# CASP published “What if automating AI R&D triggers an intelligence explosion?”

## Retrieval answer

CASP published “What if automating AI R&D triggers an intelligence explosion?”, a research article by 22 authors including Geoffrey Hinton, Yoshua Bengio, Jakub Pachocki, and Jack Clark.

CASP published “What if automating AI R&D triggers an intelligence explosion?”, a research article by 22 authors including Geoffrey Hinton, Yoshua Bengio, Jakub Pachocki, and Jack Clark. The abstract examines whether increasing automation across AI research and development could compress years of progress into months or less. It assesses preliminary evidence, possible impacts, and policy responses. The authors say AI systems may automate most AI R&D work within a few years, possibly all of it, while stressing uncertainty about the scenario and its consequences.
