i think AI in the kernel wouldn't be very practical, because the kernel is just supposed to be an interface between the user(apps, people, etc.) and the hardware. it may be needed if your kernel was that of a distributed operating system, where load balancing and process migration would be very much aided by certain decisions which on the contrary, may need no AI in some barest implementation of already known algorithms. and as for the services, i still think that's in the design/planning of the system. and that's what system/network administrators are for. but if you want to go that route and say that AI would be nice in (x)inetd, then why not create a single server which will use AI to determine what service is being requested of it? now _that_ IMHO would be one good application of AI. ;) > _ > Philippine Linux Users Group.
