Open-Endedness is Essential for Artificial Superhuman Intelligence

Edward Hughes, Michael Dennis, Jack Parker-Holder et al.

What this work does

Defines open-endedness relative to an observer through continuing novelty and learnability, then develops a position on foundation-model-based open-ended systems.

Connection to discovery

Provides a theoretical lens for asking whether discovery continues to yield learnable novelty over time.

Evidence

Consulted the formal observer/artifact framing and proposed routes from generated challenges to continuing capability development.

Scope and limitations

A position paper and formal framing are not demonstrations of ASI or an unlimited sequence of validated scientific findings.
