  Following Prof. Mark Harman of Facebook's keynote and formal presentations
(which are recorded in the proceedings) there was a wide ranging discussion at
the eighth international Genetic Improvement workshop, GI-2020 @ ICSE (held as
part of the 42nd ACM/IEEE International Conference on Software Engineering on
Friday 3rd July 2020). Topics included industry take up, human factors,
explainabiloity (explainability, justifyability, exploitability) and GI
benchmarks. We also contrast various recent online approaches (e.g. SBST 2020)
to holding virtual computer science conferences and workshops via the WWW on
the Internet without face-2-face interaction. Finally we speculate on how the
Coronavirus Covid-19 Pandemic will affect research next year and into the
future.
