ICLR 2026 Workshop on AI with Recursive Self-Improvement

Focus: Algorithmic foundations for reliable self-improving AI systems.

Key Takeaways:

• Shift from thought experiments to deployed systems (rewriting own code, robotics controllers, product-level code).
• Scientific discovery pipelines now include automated, continual fine-tuning.
• Key research: Yang et al. (2023), Soni et al. (2024), Zhuge et al. (2024a), Starace et al. (2025), Ghasemipour et al. (2025), Novikov et al. (2025).
