explore the full fitness space. The value of offspring can even be predicted by data
about the parents. Natural selection, by contrast, mindlessly increases and decreases
the prevalence of genetic variants in proportion to their effects on Darwinian fitness,
in competition with stochastic influences that can eliminate useful mutations or take
deleterious ones to fixation.
The problem of getting stuck at suboptimal peaks is faced by both genetic program-
ming and natural selection, but the options are much more diverse for programmers.
Natural selection cannot start fresh. Path dependence restricts it to small changes
that leave many traits suboptimal, such as the shared passageway for air and food,
and blood vessels that run between light and the retina.
I came to the workshop and this book looking for examples of how genetic
programs fail that might illuminate the evolutionary reasons why we are vulner-
able to disease. But from what I can tell, genetic programs are not vulnerable to
failures akin to cancer, heart attacks, diabetes, or autoimmune disease. The intrinsic
advantages of genetic programs described above offer only a partial explanation.
Instead, I think the vulnerabilities and the robustness of organic systems result from
billions of years of selection that have created organic complexity that defies simple
description. Our human minds were shaped to seek simplicity, however, so we tend
to view bodies as if they were designed, with discrete parts each with a specific
function. The prevalence of this tendency to “tacit creationism” is a major obstacle
to full biological understanding. Deep learning neural networks also can be similarly
impossible to comprehend, but there is hope that genetic algorithms will make them
less opaque.
I come away impressed by the vibrant community of scholars and scientists who
are using genetic programming to create programs very different from the products
of natural selection. They leave me astounded that natural selection has done so
well despite its limits. I hope someone who knows more than I do about genetic
programming and natural selection will compare and contrast them in much more
detail in order to illuminate them both.
The preparations for the eighteenth edition of the workshop on Genetic Programming
Theory and Practice (GPTP) began back in the autumn of 2019. Some months before,
the seventeenth edition of GPTP had been a great success: After 16 annual events in
Ann Arbor, at the University of Michigan, it had been the first edition of GPTP to be
held at Michigan State University in East Lansing. For the eighteenth edition, GPTP
2020, we planned to go back to Ann Arbor. So, similar to the years before, we started
to organize venue details, invited potential speakers and workshop participants, and
asked sponsors if they would be willing and able to support the event. By February
2020, everything was quite well on track, and some of us already had planned their
travel to GPTP 2020.
But then the COVID-19 pandemic struck the entire world. By March 2020 it was
clear that an in-person event in Michigan would not be possible in May 2020, and
with a very heavy heart, we had to cancel the event for 2020. It was the first time
since 2003 that no GPTP took place.
As time went on, in autumn 2020 we started discussions about organizing the 2021
GPTP workshop. In the beginning we were optimistic that a normal event could be
possible, but it quickly dawned on us that this would be highly improbable. It was clear
that universities would still be shut in the spring of 2021 and that traveling would not
be safe by then either. But should we cancel GPTP once again? We were all relatively
used to online meetings—but could a workshop such as GPTP “work” in an online
form? Considering that the real great moments and discussions at GPTP happen in
the discussion sessions and after the talks, when the ideas come up discussing the
day’s sessions at a drink in the evening, what should we do?
As the GPTP workshop has become one of the most important meeting points
for our community, where people meet and can share their thoughts freely and get
feedback for their ideas should we really cancel once again? Especially in the chal-
lenging times of a pandemic, we felt that it would even be more important to keep
the community connected and alive!
So, after several weeks of discussions, we decided to give it a try—GPTP 2021
would be an online event! Again, we contacted potential speakers, participants, and
sponsors, keeping in mind that for an online version of the workshop it would be very

important not to make the event too big. The feedback from people we approached
was very positive—almost all of them accepted their invitations.
And so, May 2021 came along, and GPTP 2021 was held as an online event
via Zoom—and it was great! The talks were interesting, the discussions were very
intense and, similar to the in-person events, many new ideas were presented and
created during the event.
Each day there was a keynote talk, followed by shorter presentations and discus-
sions as well as a special discussion sessions about the topic of the keynote. On Day
1, Elizabeth Barnes from the Department of Atmospheric Science at Colorado State
University gave a keynote about viewing anthropogenic change through an AI lens.
Climate change is a global problem and a threat to us all, and there is a lot of prob-
lems where computer scientists, and especially understandable AI models created
by genetic programming could help.
On Day 2, Randolph Nesse from the Center for Evolution and Medicine at Arizona
State University gave a keynote about evolutionary medicine, why evolved systems
fail, and the mystery of health. This talk was perfectly aligned with the tradition of
GPTP, as we always strive to combine computer science, evolutionary algorithms,
and interdisciplinary thinking.
Finally on Day 3, David Andre from Google-X talked about pitfalls and things
that might go wrong when deploying GP systems, especially in the field of finance—
his talk was entitled provocatively “GP considered Dangerous”. Again, this keynote
sparked many intense discussions as those are topics we all can relate to.
The collection you hold in hand contains the written final contributions submitted
by the 18th workshop’s participants. Each contribution was drafted, read, and
reviewed by other participants prior to the workshop.
We are very glad that we were able to carry on with the spirit of GPTP in 2021,
as a special place in the genetic programming community in an unusually intimate,
interdisciplinary, and constructive atmosphere. It brings together researchers and
practitioners who are eager to engage with one another in thoughtful and unhurried
discussions of the major challenges and opportunities in our field.
Acknowledgements
We would like to thank all of the participants for making GP Theory and Prac-
tice a successful workshop 2021. As is always the case, it produced a lot of inter-
esting and high-energy discussions, as well as speculative thoughts and new ideas for
further work. The keynote speakers delivered thought-provoking talks from diverse
perspectives.
We would also like to thank our financial supporters for making the existence
of GP Theory and Practice possible for now nearly two decades. For 2021, we are
grateful to the following sponsors:
