Kan naturens egen designproces videreudvikle AI?

En ny lærebog skrevet af ITU-professor @risi.bsky.social m.fl. udforsker feltet 𝙉𝙚𝙪𝙧𝙤𝙚𝙫𝙤𝙡𝙪𝙩𝙞𝙤𝙣, der kan ændre fremtidens kunstige intelligens.

"Grundideen er at efterligne, hvordan intelligens opstod i naturen."

Excited to announce our book “Neuroevolution: Harnessing Creativity in AI Agent Design” by Sebastian Risi, Yujin Tang, Risto Miikkulainen, and myself. We explore decades of work on evolving intelligent agents and shows how neuroevolution can drive creativity in deep learning, RL, LLMs and AI Agents!
