Learngene: Inheritable ‘Genes’ in Intelligent Agents (Abstract Reprint)

Abstract

Biological intelligence has driven significant progress in artificial intelligence (AI), but a critical gap remains: biological systems inherit innate abilities from genes, with brains initialized by blueprints refined over 3.5 billion years of evolution, while machines rely heavily on inefficient, data-driven learning from scratch. This gap arises from the lack of a genetic mechanism in machines to transfer and accumulate inheritable knowledge across generations. To bridge this gap, we propose learngenes, network fragments that act as inheritable
