The evolution of Artificial Intelligence (AI) has ushered in a new era of self-learning data models that possess the ability to adapt, refine, and optimize themselves over time without explicit human intervention. These models are designed to dynamically ingest new information, process environmental feedback, and incrementally update their internal parameters. Their ability to improve autonomously over time makes them especially valuable in domains characterized by evolving data streams, such as personalized medicine, autonomous systems, and fraud detection. This paper presents a comprehensive study of the principles and techniques that power self-learning models, drawing on recent advances in reinforcement learning, continual learning, and knowledge distillation. We introduce a hybrid self-learning framework that addresses major challenges such as catastrophic forgetting and model drift. The experimental evaluation demonstrates that our model significantly outperforms traditional static learning systems, maintaining high accuracy and stability across changing environments. These results validate the potential of self-learning models to enable sustainable, efficient, and intelligent decision-making in dynamic contexts.
