Artificial Intelligence (AI) has evolved from symbolic logic-based reasoning systems of the 1950s to adaptive learning paradigms such as neural networks and deep reinforcement learning. In modern computing environments, particularly in network infrastructures, the demand for self-organizing, scalable, and intelligent decision-making systems has significantly increased [1]. Traditional algorithmic solutions in networking—such as static routing, threshold-based congestion control, and deterministic anomaly detection—are often inadequate in dynamic and large-scale environments [2]. The emergence of evolutionary computation, inspired by biological processes and collective behavior in nature, provides an effective approach to optimization and problem-solving under uncertainty [3]. THE VI INTERNATIONAL SCIENTIFIC CONFERENCE “SCIENTIFIC FOUNDATIONS FOR THE USE OF INFORMATION TECHNOLOGIES OF A NEW LEVEL AND MODERN PROBLEMS OF AUTOMATION”, NOVEMBER 20, 2025 347 Evolutionary AI algorithms such as Genetic Algorithms (GA), Particle Swarm Optimization (PSO), Differential Evolution (DE), and hybrid Deep Learning–Reinforcement Learning architectures have demonstrated high performance in areas like: Network traffic optimization Fault-tolerant routing Adaptive security management QoS (Quality of Service) enhancement The aim of this paper is to analyze the evolutionary development trends of AI algorithms and evaluate their efficiency when applied to network management and optimization. Materials and methods. Research Design. This research combines theoretical analysis, simulation modeling, and comparative experimentation. The methodology involves: Reviewing foundational AI algorithmic paradigms (rule-based → statistical → evolutionary → hybrid AI). Implementing selected algorithms in a controlled network environment using Python (TensorFlow, Scikit-learn) and NS-3 / Cisco Packet Tracer simulators. Evaluating performance through quantitative metrics (accuracy, latency, computational time, and resource efficiency). Algorithms Used. Genetic Algorithm (GA): Based on Darwinian evolution principles, it evolves solutions through selection, crossover, and mutation [4]. Particle Swarm Optimization (PSO): Mimics the social behavior of bird flocks to optimize functions through iterative velocity updates [5]. Deep Reinforcement Learning (DRL): Integrates deep neural networks with reinforcement learning to enable continuous adaptation and prediction [6]. Network Model. A distributed network with 50 nodes was simulated. Each node represented a router with dynamic traffic flows. Data packets were generated at random intervals to test load balancing and latency management. The network topology was partially meshed, resembling realistic enterprise or ISP infrastructures. Evaluation Metrics. Metric Description Objective Accuracy (%) Correct routing or classification rate Maximize Latency (ms) Average packet delay Minimize Resource Utilization (%) CPU and memory use Optimize Adaptability Index Response to topology changes Maximize Results. Experimental Performance. After multiple training iterations, each algorithm was benchmarked under identical network loads. The comparative results are summarized below. Algorithm Accuracy (%) Average Latency (ms) Resource Utilization (%) Adaptability GA 92.1 15.4 68.2 High PSO 93.4 13.7 65.9 Very High DRL (CNN + RL) 96.5 10.9 72.3 Excellent Observations. • GA converged reliably but required higher computational effort due to repeated population evaluations. • PSO achieved a faster convergence rate, suitable for real-time routing updates.

These findings indicate that hybrid models, leveraging both deep neural architectures and reinforcement-based learning, offer the best trade-off between performance and resource cost. Discussion. Evolutionary Perspective. AI algorithm evolution can be conceptually divided into four main eras: 1. Symbolic AI (1950–1980): Logic-based reasoning and expert systems. 2. Statistical AI (1980–2000): Probabilistic reasoning and Bayesian networks. 3. Connectionist AI (2000–2020): Neural networks, deep learning, and backpropagation. 4. Evolutionary & Hybrid AI (2020–present): Nature-inspired optimization, autonomous learning, and generative models [8]. Implications for Network Systems. Evolutionary algorithms are particularly suitable for network management because: • They self-adapt to changing traffic patterns. • They optimize multiple parameters (speed, load, QoS) simultaneously. • They can be integrated with machine learning classifiers for intrusion detection or predictive maintenance [9]. A hybrid evolutionary approach combining PSO for parameter tuning and CNN for pattern recognition achieved up to 20–25% improvement in throughput and decision accuracy compared to traditional static routing algorithms. Limitations. Despite their effectiveness, evolutionary algorithms have limitations: • Computation overhead in large-scale networks • Difficulty in parameter tuning (mutation rates, swarm coefficients) • Interpretability challenges in complex hybrid systems [10]. Conclusion. The research demonstrates that evolutionary AI algorithms provide a powerful framework for intelligent and adaptive network management. Compared to static models, they: • Reduce network latency by up to 30% • Increase routing accuracy by 4–5% • Improve adaptability and fault tolerance under dynamic loads. Future research will focus on integrating quantum-inspired optimization and edge-AI computation for real-time decision-making in 6G and IoT networks. REFERENCES 1. [1] Russell, S., & Norvig, P.
