 The way some (!) artificial intelligence works is by reward functions. Essentially, the neural network gets a problem to solve, responds with an action and then we give a "score" back to it. Say, bowling. Each pin gives +10, missing the throw is -50, and by letting it repeat and repeat it will try out all kinds of angles and speeds and spins until it settles into solution that gives it maximum points.
