As machines (computers) grow more sophisticated and start to resemble living things in their complexity, we're going to have to start dramatically improving their regenerative capacity and their ability to self-diagnose. Else the future will be littered with sad, broken robots.
Training a machine implies some sort of evolutionary model (a training set describes a fitness landscape). Maybe this will work (doubtful, across such a large and variable surface), but how about thinking about this on a fundamental design level? How does a computer know it is working properly?

How one tell those two apart is context. And context is a hard subject even for humans. Even biology can't get it straight. After all, some of our most resilient diseases exploit the normal signals of cells for their own purposes.
