​Foundation models (e.g. large language models) create exciting new opportunities in our longstanding quests to produce open-ended and AI-generating algorithms, wherein agents can truly keep innovating and learning forever. In this talk, I will introduce quality diversity, open-ended, and AI-generating algorithms and share some of our recent work harnessing the power of foundation models to unleash their potential, including to automate science. I will cover our recent work including OMNI (Open-endedness via Models of human Notions of Interestingness), Video Pre-Training (VPT), Automatically Designing Agentic Systems (ADAS), the Darwin Gödel Machine, and The AI Scientist.

​​​​​​Whether you’re working on the frontier of LLMs or just curious about anything AI4Science, we’d love to have you there.
