Self-healing AI refers to artificial intelligence systems that can detect, diagnose, and fix their own issues—without human intervention—just like how our body repairs itself through processes like autophagy. Autophagy AI is a fusion of biological intelligence and machine intelligence

Autophagy, a cellular process that plays a critical role in maintaining the health and functionality of living cells, offers a compelling analogy for artificial intelligence (AI). In biological systems, autophagy refers to the process by which cells break down damaged or malfunctioning components and recycle them into useful building blocks, essentially ‘self-cleaning’ to preserve their overall health and efficiency.

However, when AI systems, and AI agents are allowed to engage in a self-reflective learning process without careful regulation, they can enter cycles of self-improvement that, much like cellular autophagy, can lead to either self-preservation or self-destruction.
