In the dynamic landscape of technology, the convergence of Artificial Intelligence (AI) and Operating Systems (OS) has emerged as a pivotal arena for innovation. Our exploration focuses on the symbiotic relationship between AI and OS, emphasizing how AI-driven tools enhance OS performance, security, and efficiency, while OS advancements facilitate more sophisticated AI applications. We delve into various AI techniques employed to optimize OS functionalities, including memory management, process scheduling, and intrusion detection. Simultaneously, we analyze the role of OS in providing essential services and infrastructure that enable effective AI application execution, from resource allocation to data processing. The article also addresses challenges and future directions in this domain, emphasizing the imperative of secure and efficient AI integration within OS frameworks. By examining case studies and recent developments, our review provides a comprehensive overview of the current state of AI-OS integration, underscoring its significance in shaping the next generation of computing technologies. Finally, we explore the promising prospects of Intelligent OSes, considering not only how innovative OS architectures will pave the way for groundbreaking opportunities but also how AI will significantly contribute to advancing these next-generation OSs.
