Exploring the Roots of Artificial Life: A Podcast on Hugo de Garis's Genetic Programming

A new podcast episode dives into the pioneering 1990 research paper "Genetic Programming - Building Artificial Nervous Systems with Genetically Programmed Neural Network Modules" by Hugo de Garis. The episode, uploaded by the channel GORVS S, explores the early concepts of using genetic algorithms to evolve neural networks, a foundational approach in artificial life and evolutionary computation. The podcast is part of a series dedicated to book and research discussions, offering listeners a deep dive into historical AI methodologies. Hugo de Garis's work, though decades old, remains influential in the fields of neuroevolution and artificial embryogeny. The episode is available on YouTube and runs for 7 minutes and 41 seconds.
