AI Self-Healing Agents
Developing autonomous AI systems capable of detecting internal failure, behavioral drift, algorithmic bias, and performance degradation - and initiating self-repair without human intervention.
Abstract
AI Self-Healing Agents is a Neuralyn Labs research initiative focused on autonomous resilience in intelligent systems. The project investigates how AI agents can continuously observe their own behavior, detect anomalies or degradation, reason about root causes, and apply corrective actions in real time. This research aims to move beyond traditional monitoring and alerting systems toward self-governing AI architectures that remain stable, trustworthy, and aligned under long-running, high-complexity conditions.
Problem
Modern AI systems are increasingly long-running, autonomous, and deployed in dynamic environments. Yet most systems remain externally dependent: failures are detected after impact, bias accumulates silently, and recovery depends on human operators. Monitoring systems observe metrics, not intent or behavior. This creates fragile AI deployments that degrade over time.
Hypothesis
AI systems equipped with continuous self-observation, behavioral modeling, and autonomous repair mechanisms can detect failure modes earlier than external monitoring, reduce operational downtime, mitigate bias and drift before escalation, and maintain long-term alignment without constant human oversight.
Methods
- •Self-observation & telemetry (Internal state introspection + Behavioral pattern logging)
- •Anomaly & drift detection (Distributional shift detection + Behavioral divergence)
- •Root-cause reasoning (Causal attribution + Noise differentiation)
- •Autonomous repair strategies (Policy recalibration + Safe rollback + Targeted retraining)
- •Safety & governance layer (Bounded metrics + Human-in-the-loop escalation)

Ethics & Safety Note
Self-healing actions are strictly constrained to bounded, reversible operations. High-risk conditions require explicit escalation and human oversight.
