Autonomic systems would bear more of a resemblance to simple biological organisms than a fully fledged, HAL-style artificial intelligence.
Autonomic systems wouldn't operate entirely outside the realm of human control.
Within the next decade, I predict that IT departments will be almost entirely managed by autonomic expert systems.

Already, companies that implement autonomic expert systems are removing humans from 40 and up to 80 percent of IT processes.

Autonomic computing systems wouldn't regulate themselves with one super-intelligent and aware mind.
Autonomic expert systems are also being used to help eliminate human error.

The significant advantage that autonomic expert systems have over humans is that they behave consistently and always comply with the process rules they have learned.

Clearly there is room for growth with these statistics and I think we will see an increase in the prevalence of autonomic expert systems over the next few years.

It is, however, a plausible hypothesis, and there is some evidence that their autonomic nervous systems (which control basic bodily functions such as heartbeat and body temperature) have not been working properly.
The learning process of autonomic expert systems is similar to how a child learns by observing its parents or how the human immune systems learn to fight infections based on vaccines and medication.

"The complexity of IT systems is growing at a tremendous rate, to a point where it's becoming very difficult for administrators to manage their systems, " says Jeff Kephart , autonomic computing manager at IBM Research.
