UNEXPECTED RESULT. “A computer is programmed to build random circuits and run tests on them to complete a certain task. The best performing circuits are randomly combined into hybrids and tested again. After hundreds of generations the evolved circuit performs the task really well. The researchers thought this would provide insight on more efficient circuit design, but the circuit that evolved was so bizarre they couldn’t even understand how it was doing the task.”
