Sony patents AI that writes its own repair scripts for devices
Sony describes a system where a large language model writes custom self-diagnostic code to check for problems on a user's device. If the AI finds an issue, it can automatically send a fix to the device or log the problem for later review.
In the filing’s own words
In one example, an apparatus may include a processor system and storage accessible to the processor system. The storage may include instructions executable by the processor system to receive data related to one or more self-diagnostic algorithms executed at a first client device. The instructions may also be executable to execute one or more artificial intelligence (AI) models to analyze the data and to determine, based on the analysis, whether corrective action should be taken to address an issue at the first client device. Responsive to determining that corrective action should be taken, the instructions may be executable to communicate with the first client device to take the corrective action. Responsive to determining that corrective action should not be taken, the instructions may be executable to record the issue in a log.
What exactly they claim (claim 1)
1. An apparatus, comprising: a processor system; and storage accessible to the processor system and comprising instructions executable by the processor system to: receive data related to one or more self-diagnostic algorithms executed at a first client device; execute one or more artificial intelligence (AI) models to analyze the data and to determine, based on the analysis, whether corrective action should be taken to address an issue at the first client device; responsive to determining that corrective action should be taken, communicate with the first client device to take the corrective action; and responsive to determining that corrective action should not be taken, record the issue in a log; wherein the instructions are executable to: receive, from the first client device, an indication that the issue has occurred; responsive to receiving the indication, execute a large language model (LLM) to write the one or more self-diagnostic algorithms; and transmit, to the first client device, the one or more self-diagnostic algorithms written by the LLM for execution by the first client device.
