Who hasn't encountered problems installing updates through Windows Update? How would you feel if there was an artificial intelligence tool that could automatically solve these problems for us without having to consult dozens of guides and instructions?
Microsoft has just published a document describing a patented AI technology that is capable of detecting and fixing operating system problems, such as those with Windows Update.
The text, which can be read online, calls this technology DETECTING AND REPAIRING RELIABILITY ISSUES IN OPERATING SYSTEMS AND APPLICATIONS USING A GENERATIVE ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE SYSTEM and refers to a system that uses advanced technology to detect and repair software problems.
The system constantly monitors the software for problems or errors. When it detects a problem, it triggers the next steps, with the help of artificial intelligence. This AI is designed to understand and generate responses that will be displayed in text.
The AI analyzes the error information related to the detected problem and understands what caused the problem (error context). Using this error context, the AI identifies the specific piece of software code responsible for the problem and locates the file containing the problematic code.
The AI then creates a prompt (a set of instructions) based on the error context. This prompt helps the AI focus on the specific problem. The created prompt, error context, and software code are fed into the AI model, which can generate solutions or explanations.
A response may include a detailed explanation of the problem, possible solutions, or AI actions to resolve the problem. Based on the response generated, the system can proceed to assess or fix the problem. This could include automatic fixes or recommendations for manual intervention.
In other words, the system can automatically detect, analyze, and fix software problems using genetic artificial intelligence models, facilitating the maintenance and improvement of software applications and operating systems.
The new technology could likely, if it progresses, be released as a core feature of future versions of Windows, but also as a standalone application.
George is still wondering what he is doing here….
