TLDR
An expert system is a computer program that represents and uses skills and knowledge of one or more human experts to provide high-quality performance in a specific domain to offer a number of benefits when compared with human experts.Abstract:
An expert system is a computer program that represents and uses skills and knowledge of one or more human experts to provide high-quality performance in a specific domain. Expert systems offer a number of benefits when compared with human experts. Expertise embodied in an expert system is permanent, like other software, whereas human expertise is perishable. Expert systems can produce consistent results on the same tasks and handle similar situations consistently, whereas humans can get tired or bored and are influenced by various. Expert systems are inexpensive to operate, easy to reproduce and distribute, and can provide permanent documentation of the decision process. In addition, expert systems contain knowledge from several human experts, giving them more breadth and robustness than a single expert. Although expert systems enjoy these advantages, they also have many weaknesses that include lack of common sense knowledge, narrow focus and restricted knowledge, inability to respond creatively to unusual situations, and difficulty in adapting to changing environments.read more
