How was it foreseeable? Expert systems worked on quite different principles. Knowledge representation, expert interviews, ontologies etc.

- bonoboTP 3mo agoExpert systems didn't use neural nets or in fact any machine learning. They did interviews with experts and tried to do domain modeling, mapping the expertise to a formal symbolic logical description, ontologies, relations etc. Both the knowledge base and the inference engine changed. They both changed to a unified machine learning paradigm. It's like you throw away your axe's handle, then the head, and then you grab a chainsaw. It's "the same thing" to that same degree.
