To optimize machine learning or reinforcement learning, an objective function or loss function is key. The objective function for the brain is simple, to keep the body temperature the same, and it uses simple terms like dopamine to define reward predictions.

One of the key requirements for machine learning and reinforcement learning is to have an objective function or utility function, which refers to a very primitive, dumb goal that the system tries to optimize to achieve a specific outcome or reward.

Summary
One of the key requirements for machine learning and reinforcement learning is to have an objective function or utility function, which refers to a very primitive, dumb goal that the system tries to optimize to achieve a specific outcome or reward. These functions are critical to the success of these processes.
