AI Has Successfully Imitated Human Evolution—and Might Do It Even Better

Popular Mechanics, 01/30/23. Artificial Intelligence (AI) is increasingly being used to imitate natural evolution, which is the process by which species change over time through the selection of beneficial traits. Researchers are utilizing AI algorithms to evolve computer programs and robotic systems in the same way that natural selection shapes living organisms.

By simulating evolution, AI can optimize designs and find solutions to complex problems faster and more efficiently than traditional methods. The potential applications of AI-driven evolution are vast, including the development of new materials, the optimization of energy systems, and the creation of intelligent machines. As AI continues to evolve, it will likely play an increasingly important role in solving some of the world’s most pressing challenges. READ FULL ARTICLE
