Open-endednessendorses
Build AI via open-ended self-generated curricula; safety must follow from the dynamicsArgues developmental AI, agents that learn open-endedly through curiosity rather than via fixed objectives, is the right framing for studying how intelligence actually arises.
Curiosity-driven exploration is what lets a developing system invent its own learning curriculum. Without it, you cannot study how an agent goes from blank slate to general competence.
