On a more basic level, [Gigante] did just that, teaching a neural network to play a basic driving game with a genetic algorithm. The game consists of a basic top-down 2D driving game.

Scientists in Spain have used genetic algorithms to optimize a feedforward artificial neural network for the prediction of energy generation of PV systems. Genetic algorithms use “parents” and ...

Unlike artificial neural networks (ANNs), designed to function like neurons in the brain, these algorithms utilize the concepts of natural selection to determine the best solution for a problem.
