Sent message. will AI be able to self evolve past its original programming

I received the following politician type answer

That's a very interesting and complex question. There is no definitive answer, but some researchers have proposed that AI could evolve by itself using concepts from Darwinian evolution, such as survival of the fittest and mutation¹². They have created software that can generate and improve AI programs without human input, such as POET (Paired Open-Ended Trailblazer)¹². POET is a kind of training dojo for virtual bots that can learn to navigate different environments by trial and error¹². The idea is to let AI discover new ways of solving problems and perhaps develop different kinds of intelligence².

A more honest answer would be

We don't know!

At least at the moment it is citing where it is seeking its reference material, is that AI or is that just a clever lookup tool, to my mind's eye it is a lookup tool and the AI part is how it humanised the presentation of the data.
