You can’t predict the future, but you can build the fitness to respond to it. The advantage isn’t prediction. It’s how fast your leadership team can notice and anticipate change and respond. Hence mind candy — an information stream to help you and your team think about what’s next.
Meta researchers introduce ‘hyperagents’ to unlock self-improving AI for non-coding tasks
Hyperagents are a self-improving AI system that continuously rewrites and optimises its problem-solving logic and the underlying code. Nothing to worry about……
Self-improving AI had a ceiling. The improvement mechanism was fixed, designed by humans, and only worked in coding. Meta removed the ceiling. Hyperagents merge the task agent and the improvement agent into one editable programme. The system doesn’t just get better at solving problems. It rewrites how it improves. Then transfers that to domains it has never seen.
The leadership question
If AI now improves the process by which it improves — across domains your team hasn’t anticipated — what is your plan for governing capability that compounds faster than your review cycles can track?
