📰 AI NEWS RECAP

AI Improves ITSELF 😮

Does this mean the end of jobs as we know it?

The answer might surprise you.

Microsoft's new AI can teach itself to get smarter.

Without needing massive computing power.

Or expensive hardware.

Not only that.

But its smaller.

Cheaper.

Faster.

Than ChatGPT.

But how does it work?

By using a new technique called rStar-Math.

In a nutshell...

rStar-Math teaches AI to think deeply through math problems, just like humans do.

Here's how it works:

1️⃣ Tackles 747,000 math problems

2️⃣ Breaks problems into smaller pieces

3️⃣ Writes solutions in plain language

4️⃣ Quadruple checks its own work

5️⃣ Identifies what worked for next time

Think about it like this.

A math student shows their work.

And then takes notes about what did or didn't work.

𝗠𝘆 𝗧𝗮𝗸𝗲🤔 

If AI can teach itself to learn...

Won't it go rogue?

Put simply. No.

Instead of the sci-fi scenario of AI becoming self-aware and evolving beyond control—

We're seeing carefully architected systems that improve within bounded domains.

It's like teaching a student how to learn from their own mistakes, but the student isn't learning random things.

Only what we have them learn.

And have them show their work for us to review.

This just might be the template we use for AI self-improvement in the future.

✅ Systematic.

✅ Verifiable.

✅ Aligned with human objectives.
