Genetic Programming IV: Routine Human-Competitive Machine Intelligence presents the application of GP to a wide variety of problems involving automated synthesis of controllers, circuits, antennas, genetic networks, and metabolic pathways. The book describes fifteen instances where GP has created an entity that either infringes or duplicates the functionality of a previously patented 20th-century invention, six instances where it has done the same with respect to post-2000 patented inventions, two instances where GP has created a patentable new invention, and thirteen other human-competitive results.

遗传编程IV：常规人类竞争机器智能介绍了GP在控制器、电路、天线、遗传网络和代谢途径的自动合成等各种问题上的应用。本书描述了GP创建了一个实体侵犯或复制先前已获专利的20世纪发明功能的十五个实例，对2000年后的专利发明进行了同样操作的六个实例，GP创建了一个可获专利的新发明的两个实例，以及其他十三项人类竞赛结果。
