What happens when AI builds itself?

What happens if AI models get so good that they can build their own successors? So model A builds a better model B, which then builds an even better model C, without any humans to slow things down? The answer could be a high-speed rush towards an AI superintelligence that is beyond human understanding, and possibly beyond human control. This process, known as recursive self-improvement, may be much closer than people realise—perhaps just a couple of years away. So is the world ready for an artificial intelligence explosion?
