AI DB MGMT

I got to wondering if database management might be good application for AI (Artifical Intelligence). I mean if you had a big data base that you had been diligently collecting for years, you wouldn't want anything bad to happen to it. Menawhile of course you have to let the untold millions access to the database, either just to read, edit, or even add new entires.

Now we've been dealing with this for a while now, like decades, and if you count paper records, millenia, so I think we've probably got a pretty good handle on how to manage a database. You are going to keep a complete backup and add to it any changes anyone makes. You have to keep an eye on activity, just in case you get attacked. It's never good to get attacked, but it's worse when the system is busy. And you have to keep an eye on security. There are any number of ways of breaking into a computer database system, and not all of them involve using a keyboard.

We have algorithms to take care of all these issues, and you could write a master program to handle it all going so far as to send text messages to alert the boss that something weird is happening. Could artificial intelligence add anything to this mix? I'm not sure it would be a good application and if even if technically it was, I'm not sure we would want bag of bolts in charge of our most precious asset.
