Sony patents AI system to silently fix issues on PlayStation and other devices

Sony filed a USPTO patent for a diagnostics system where a cloud AI server monitors user devices, writes its own diagnostic tools and fixes firmware or OS issues without notifying the user. The application has already been rejected by a patent examiner, though Sony can refile.

• Patent describes a cloud server constantly monitoring Sony devices
• System picks among multiple LLMs and writes its own firmware and OS fixes
• Users would not be notified when fixes are installed
• The 2025 application was already rejected by a USPTO examiner
