• Abstract summary: Animals are born with some intelligence encoded in their genes, but machines lack such intelligence and learn from scratch. Inspired by the genes of animals, we define the genes'' of machines named as the learngenes'' and propose the Genetic Reinforcement Learning (GRL) GRL is a computational framework that simulates the evolution of organisms in reinforcement learning (RL) and leverages the learngenes to learn and evolve the intelligence agents.

• Abstract: The genes in nature give the lives on earth the current biological intelligence through transmission and accumulation over billions of years. Inspired by the biological intelligence, artificial intelligence (AI) has devoted to building the machine intelligence. Although it has achieved thriving successes, the machine intelligence still lags far behind the biological intelligence. The reason may lie in that animals are born with some intelligence encoded in their genes, but machines lack such intelligence and learn from scratch. Inspired by the genes of animals, we define the ``genes'' of machines named as the ``learngenes'' and propose the Genetic Reinforcement Learning (GRL). GRL is a computational framework that simulates the evolution of organisms in reinforcement learning (RL) and leverages the learngenes to learn and evolve the intelligence agents. Leveraging GRL, we first show that the learngenes take the form of the fragments of the agents' neural networks and can be inherited across generations. Second, we validate that the learngenes can transfer ancestral experience to the agents and bring them instincts and strong learning abilities. Third, we justify the Lamarckian inheritance of the intelligent agents and the continuous evolution of the learngenes. Overall, the learngenes have taken the machine intelligence one more step toward the biological intelligence.

  The pursuit of creating artificial intelligence mirrors our longstanding fascination with understanding our own intelligence. Recent advances in AI hold promise, but singular approaches often fall short in capturing the essence of intelligence.

  We propose the Genetic Transfer Learning (GTL) framework to copy the evolutionary process of organisms into neural networks. GTL trains a population of networks, selects superior learngenes by tournaments, performs learngene mutations, and passes the learngenes to next generations. We show that the learngenes bring the descendant networks instincts and strong learning ability.

  Recent wave of generative AI has sparked excitement and concern over potentially superhuman levels of artificial intelligence. At the same time, models still show basic errors in understanding that would not be expected even in non-expert humans. This presents us with an apparent paradox: how do we reconcile seemingly superhuman capabilities with the persistence of errors that few humans would make?

  We investigate the question What if the 18th-century biologist Lamarck was not completely wrong and individual traits learned during a lifetime could be passed on to offspring through inheritance?'' Within this framework, we compare a Lamarckian system, where learned bits of the brain are inheritable, with a Darwinian system, where they are not.
