Insyde software announces AI BIOS!

Would you trust an AI BIOS??

Got one reply from Insyde which I can't gather much from it's not worded the best and if I were a manufacturer I would not be convinced

@JWNoctis I'm behind the times with my newest board and CPU being a decade old now so lacking in knowledge. However with this old board UEFI has a feature if it doesn't POST 2 or 3 times in a row then defaults are loaded and asked wether to enter BIOS settings or continue so this could be incorparated.

IIRC Intel XTU had also had been around at that time and if their profile module existed in the UEFI it could save BIOS settings from Windows OS. Actually there was a lot you could do to BIOS settings from Windows around that time but that's another story.
See https://www.intel.com/content/www/us/en/gaming/resources/overclocking-xtu-guide.html
Seems they also introduced AI for XTU in January.
I think current boards are also supposed to do that, though in my limited experience, they sometimes don't, especially when overclocking or undervolting destabilized the processor and/or the memory.

First time I've heard of that feature on Intel boards. Thanks.

When you run an East Asian AI-generated answer through Google Translate.
Considering how said AI could probably translate better than Google, I'm sure they are just flexing the secret corporate art of saying very little, with very many words.

At least it now sounds as if it could be something accessed from within the BIOS, so it's not all in vain. Theoretically, if they were not intending to do it with remote services and with quantized and finetuned version of some recently popular small but usefully powerful model, then it would conceivably require at least a 64Gb flash chip to store the thing, and 8GB of memory.

And then we shall see people jailbreaking it to say and do funny things, if it worked at all.

...and with very bad English.

Sounds like it. I guess I'm biased because since Core2 duo and EFI I had thought it would be nice to control BIOS settings from the OS and in some cases did that for some people but just to activate a hidden option(s) that might be too much of a learning curve under to do from EFI. No thought of AI at that time though.

Thanks @remixedcat for posting the reply from what seems to be the accounts manager no less. Perhaps they are hopeful of some business from you?

You probably hit some words the poor tech support monkey doesn't know.
Still shocked I didn't get a multi paragraph chat gpt reply lol
 
Sounds like a regular BIOS with a self-contained LLM runtime stapled on as tech support.
It makes it easier to find the right keywords in a multi-kilobyte help file.
 
They already have a handful of CVE's for this year directly affecting their BIOS releases.. I'm sure throwing another attack vector into the mix will help that.

lordy lordy they REALLY need to step back from the ai kool aid then...

well it would not be a bios, it would be {insert word here} i can not see it:banghead: .
 
Oh HELL NO! They can't get BIOS right half the time without AI in the pic, imagine the fuckups we'd witness once Ai is involved. FML NO WAY!
 
Sooo......

whatcha gonna do when you try to change a setting, and the friggin AI says, NO, I can't let you do that....at least not without my assistance, and only AFTER you pay the feature licensing fee, of course :D

Not sure but maybe some copilot-AI devices with AiBios launching 18th June. Pic seems to suggest voice control unless user is spitting at it?

I love it when somebody uses the term "optimize" on its own. Optimize for what exactly?

so they going full chatbot in the frikin BIOS!!! is everything ok INSYDE THEIR HEADS?????

I'mma have ta do a quadruple take on this one
 
AIOS or ADIOS
BAIOS! It even pronounces similar

Sooo......
