Evolutionary Computation and AI Safety: Research Problems Impeding Routine and Safe Real-world Application of Evolution

Neural and Evolutionary Computing 2019-10-07 v2 Artificial Intelligence

Abstract

Recent developments in artificial intelligence and machine learning have spurred interest in the growing field of AI safety, which studies how to prevent human-harming accidents when deploying AI systems. This paper thus explores the intersection of AI safety with evolutionary computation, to show how safety issues arise in evolutionary computation and how understanding from evolutionary computational and biological evolution can inform the broader study of AI safety.
