Evolutionary Intelligence for Scientific Discovery: From Evolutionary Computation to Cumulative Discovery Systems

Artificial intelligence (AI) is shifting scientific discovery from task-specific workflows towards autonomous systems that organize exploration with experimental and human feedback in open-ended candidate spaces. Evolutionary computation (EC) provides a computational basis for feedback-driven discovery because population-based search can maintain diverse scientific candidates while steering exploration through accumulated evidence. However, EC predominantly focuses on candidate refinement for…
