Evolution is a fundamental force that shapes life, behavior, culture, and technology, driving adaptation, survival, and growth.
Evolutionary computing, a subset of artificial intelligence, applies natural selection principles to solve optimization problems like neuroevolution for neural networks.
Researchers are exploring evolutionary systems in platforms like Minecraft to study emergent properties of social systems using multi-agent simulations.
Future directions include Evolutionary Multi-Agent Reinforcement Learning (EMARL) for agents to learn and optimize behavior through reinforcement learning and genetic algorithms across generations.
