Universal statistical signatures of evolution in artificial intelligence architectures
A comprehensive study analyzing 935 ablation experiments from 161 publications reveals that artificial intelligence architectural evolution follows the same statistical laws as biological evolution, with a heavy-tailed distribution of fitness effects placing AI between viral genomes and simple organisms. The findings suggest that evolutionary statistical structure is substrate-independent and determined by fitness landscape topology rather than the underlying selection mechanism.
