YouTube - Polyworld: Using Evolution to Design
Artificial Intelligence
V. Griffith. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=\_m97\_kL4ox0, (2007)
Abstract
This presentation is about a potential shortcut to
artificial intelligence by trading mind-design for
world-design using artificial evolution. Evolutionary
algorithms are a pump for turning CPU cycles into
brain designs. With exponentially increasing CPU
cycles while our understanding of intelligence is
almost a flat-line, the evolutionary route to AI is a
centerpiece of most Kurzweilian singularity scenarios.
This talk introduces the Polyworld artificial life
simulator as well as results from our ongoing attempt
to evolve artificial intelligence and further the
Singularity. Polyworld is the brain child of Apple
Computer Distinguished Scientist Larry Yaeger, who
remains the primary developer of Polyworld:

Virgil Griffith Virgil Griffith is a first year
graduate student in Computation and Neural Systems at
the California Institute of Technology. On weekdays he
studies evolution, computational neuroscience, and
artificial life. He did computer security work until
his first year of university when his work got him sued
for sedition and espionage. He then decided that
security was probably not safest field to be in and he
turned his life to science.
