Expert systems used to be considered "AI". Certainly some optimization algorithms like genetic algorithms were "AI". Pretty much any system that makes a decision was considered "AI" at some point.
The problem is the general use of the term changes in a way to often make the meaning unclear to the point of being near useless. Outside of marketing, of course.
- nightski 3y agoAI is a pretty well defined field I feel like. It combines symbolists, connectionists, evolutionaries, bayesians, and analogizers. Just because those not in the field misuse the term does not make it less useful.
- TuringTest 3y agoIt is useful when you use it like those knowledgeable of the field. Marketing departments are not using it that way.
- erikpukinskis 3y agoI still consider expert systems to be AI. Is there some reason why I should stop?
