artificial
computer intelligence is not a futuristic technological frontier that is on the brink of
discovery. Rather, it is being used today in many industries to facilitate workload.
The strength of expert systems, which utilize a form of artificial intelligence, is
that they can replace human experts that follow heuristics
or rules of thumb when analyzing situations. Also, they can be mass produced, unlike human
experts which need years of training and are limited by biotic factors such as sleep and
food. Click on any of the following topics to learn more about various applications of
