​🧬 What happens when Darwinism meets artificial intelligence?

​Join us at Wave for a deep dive into the science of evolution—and how it’s inspiring a new generation of AI to solve real-world problems.

​This talk will unpack the biological principles behind evolution and how they naturally create stronger populations over time. Then, you’ll see how these principles are recreated in AI algorithms, allowing machines to evolve smarter solutions fast. From mastering games like Flappy Bird to advising climate change policy, these evolving AI systems are tackling complex decision-making challenges that affect us all.

​The talk is led by Daniel Young, a data scientist and incoming Ph.D. student at the University of Texas at Austin. Daniel collaborates with the United Nations to apply automatic decision-making and AI for social good—putting nature’ logic to work on the world's toughest problems. 🤖🌍✨
