The first thing
that fascinates me after watching all those terminator movie was ; the
chip-controlled protagonist and his opponent both having the capabilities of
recovering from damages of the extreme kind inflicted by each other, on their
own?
So now that
technology is not very far away from us, Global IT giant IBM scored a coup of
sorts long ago, when it revealed eFUSE, a breakthrough technology that enables harmed
computer chips to heal themselves without human involvement.
As wiki says, “eFUSE is a technology invented by IBM which allows for the dynamic
real-time reprogramming of computer chips.”
On 31st July, this year IBM got the
patent for, “Three dimensional vertical E-fuse
structures and methods of manufacturing the same.”
The concept of
self-healing, however, does not wholly belong to it. Artificial intelligence
based systems have always been conceptualized to be having learning-by experience
and self-maintenance capabilities. Similarly, computers used in satellites are
known to have some such competence, since they need to adjust and readjust their
systems occasionally to suit the environment they operate within. Even ordinary
office users of Microsoft Internet Explorer must have noticed that the Browser,
post its version 5.0, had the capability of repairing itself in the event of its
crucial files getting corrupted. Computers managed by computers themselves are perhaps
going to be the natural culmination of the ongoing digital revolution.
