Writing code? Pfft... Evolve it instead! [EuroPython 2017 - Talk - 2017-07-12 - Anfiteatro 2] [Rimini, Italy] We're heading into a future of delivery drones, driverless cars and 3D-printed ""hoverboards"" ... With machines now able to perform many tasks better than humans, some people are going to be out of a job. But not software developers, right?! Could a computer generate the code you currently write for a living? In this talk, we'll take a look at one of the many biologically inspired approaches to AI - Genetic Algorithms, and how they can be used to generate code given a description of the function that that code should perform. Spoiler - you're probably not out of a job, yet..
