When Networks Learn to Heal Themselves: How AI Builds Self-Healing Networks
Late at night, a core device in a data center suddenly malfunctions. There is no need to urgently call engineers or carry out rushed troubleshooting. Within seconds, the system automatically detects the fault, pinpoints the cause, and seamlessly switches traffic to a backup link. Users can continue watching videos, attending meetings, and playing games without any awareness of the incident. This is not science fiction, but a reality taking shape as AI is deeply integrated into communication networks: networks are evolving from passive, failure-prone equipment into intelligent living organisms that can independently sense, diagnose, repair, and even self-evolve.
