Andrej Karpathy on AI agents as researchers themselves: "The loop-free era is over"
Andrej Karpathy discusses how AI agents can now design experiments, gather data and improve themselves without human supervision. He presents his AutoResearch project, where agents autonomously conduct AI research from experimentation to optimization, and analyzes the implications for coding skills, the labor market and education.
WHY IT MATTERS
This marks a paradigm shift where AI systems can close the feedback loop in research themselves – from experiment to model training to optimization. It changes both how AI research will be conducted going forward and which skills remain relevant for humans in the AI industry.
