It generates hypotheses, runs experiments, evaluates outcomes, updates its approach and repeats. Similar approaches have been demonstrated by systems such as Google DeepMind\u2019s AlphaGo, which mastered the ancient Chinese board game Go, and IBM\u2019s Deep Blue, which defeated chess grandmaster Garry Kasparov.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cToday&#8217;s AI systems are powerful but share a fundamental limitation: every meaningful leap still depends on intervention of human experts to decide what to try next, interpret results, and refine direction,\u201d said Kunal Bhatia, CEO and Co-Founder, Hexo Labs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cBut superintelligence will not emerge from static models. SIA learns from itself through execution and compounds its capability with every cycle.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The Hexo Labs research team plans to apply SIA to complex problems across science, business, engineering and other domains that require continuous iteration to improve outcomes.
