[The Daily Galaxy - Great Discoveries Channel -Your Daily Dose of Awe: Science, Space, Tech] New Tech: Artificial Life Forms Created that Evolve Intelligence: in a computer world called Avida, and replicate using strings of coded computer instructions instead of DNA, they are similar to real life microbes: they compete with each other for resources, replicate, mutate, and eventually evolve to become artificially intelligent life forms. Unlike real-life Darwinian microbes, their evolution can be stopped at any time, reversed, repeated, and the precise sequence of mutations that led to the new trait can be dissected. 

[MX510] Artificial Life Forms Evolve Basic Memory, Strategy | MX510: Calopteryx notes a New Scientist piece on how digital organisms in a computer world called Avida replicate, mutate, and have evolved a rudimentary form of memory. Another example of evolution in a simulation lab is provided by reader Csiko: "An evolutionary algorithm was used to derive a control strategy for simulated robot soccer players.

Kane » Blog Archiv » Identity, the Mind, and the Future: In an age of improving medical technology, artificial life support, advanced robotics, and the possibility of advanced virtual reality (check out what Sony’s doing in the video gaming industry; the Future with a capital F is now) or even artificial intelligence is so close to the verge of what was once purely science fiction that it’s simultaneously astonishing and frightening.

[Blog] Nutkracker Videos | Artificial life forms evolve basic intelligence: At the 12th annual international conference on artificial life in Odense, Denmark, this month, philosopher and computer scientist Robert Pennock of MSU will present the findings of experiments in which Avidians were made to evolve memory. ”¦ “In the past, the approach has been to start with high-level intelligence and reproduce that in a computer,” says Grabowski.

You can actually see this in nature.
