Abstract:
On the occasion of the 30-year anniversary of the Evolutionary Computation journal, I was invited by Professor Hart to offer some reflections on the article on evolving behaviors in the iterated prisoner's dilemma that I contributed to its first issue in 1993. It's an honor to do so. I would like to thank Professor Ken De Jong, the journal's first editor-in-chief, for his vision in creating the journal, and the editors who have followed and maintained that vision. This article contains some personal reflections on the topic and the field as a whole.
