The video tutorial explains genetic algorithms in machine learning, inspired by Darwin's theory of natural selection. It covers the five phases: initialization, fitness assignment, selection, crossover, and termination. The tutorial details how initial populations are formed, how fitness functions determine the fittest individuals, and how crossover and mutation create new offspring. Termination occurs when the population converges. The video also highlights real-world applications of genetic algorithms.
