In [[artificial intelligence]], '''genetic programming''' ('''GP''') is a technique whereby [[Computer program|computer programs]] are encoded as a set of genes that are then modified (evolved) using an [[evolutionary algorithm]] (often a genetic algorithm). The result is a computer program able to perform well in a predefined task.

== Description ==

Often confused to be a kind of [[genetic algorithm]], GP can indeed be seen as an application of genetic algorithms to problems where each individual is a computer program.

The methods used to encode a computer program in an artificial chromosome and to evaluate its fitness with respect to the predefined task are central in the GP technique and the subject of active research.
