In the modern world, expert systems have emerged as the most important product of artificial intelligence research. The Oxford dictionary defines an expert system as follows: “A piece of software programmed using artificial intelligence techniques. Such systems use databases of expert knowledge to offer advice or make decisions in areas such as medical diagnosis and trading on the stock exchange”. (Oxford American dictionary)An expert system is a knowledge-based system that uses knowledge pertaining to its application domain and utilises an inference procedure to solve problems. The power of expert systems stems primarily from the specific knowledge about a narrow domain stored in the expert system 's knowledge base. http://www.umsl.edu/~joshik/msis480/chapt11.htm. …show more content…
"Knowledge-Based Systems Concepts, Techniques, Examples". http://www.reidgsmith.com. Schlumberger-Doll Research. Retrieved 9 November 2013). The ultimate goal of expert systems is to emulate the decision making skills of a human. The advantage is that an expert system has the potential to store vast amounts of information and therefor make better, more informed decisions in less time and with greater accuracy than humans. Efficiency is clearly an integral part of expert systems. The need for not only coming to the correct conclusion but also doing so in the smallest amount of time is of utmost importance. This becomes especially true when one considers that in the world of medicine and finance, two crucial applications of expert systems, time is very often of critical importance. The implementation of an effective and efficient expert system will be discussed contrasted with an inefficient system. A breakdown and analysis of the correct implementation of each process involved in designing an expert system will be …show more content…
The knowledge source then implies its knowledge in order to create a new hypothesis or alternatively it makes changes to an existing one. A choice is then made by the scheduler in order to decide which knowledge source can add to the solution in the blackboard next. (Klein and Methlie) Hearsay 3, ExperTax and FINSIM are all examples of blackboard systems. A blackboard can be described as a type of database which is set aside by an area of working memory or the description of the current problem, the input data and the intermediate results.(Turban et al
You would look at how the various departments might receive a new central ordering system and how costly the new system would be relative to improving each of these individual systems. 1. Analysis In the analysis phase, identified requirements of the system will be gathered. You want to conduct an examination on a specific problem that is being addressed or expectations of a particular system that has been told by a client.
We use a combination of two-tier and three-tier system depending the variables that is listed
With reading ATP 6-01.1 it has helped me to understand the meaning of Knowledge Management and Knowledge Management tools that we use every day without realizing that we are. As a society we are spoiled to the amount of digital information that is so readily available to for us to use. The use of computers, tablets, smart phones are tools that we use every day in the military and in the civilian arena.

This detailed design should be easily converted to programming logic. It is at this stage the technology specifications for implementing the solution, logical structure of the application, design of WebPages, database designs etc are finalized. Test plans and test cases for the application are devised at this stage. Implementation phase – 5 weeks This stage involves implementing the design documentation using the technologies and platforms decided .For
Based upon the analysis, Parnas’ article is geared more towards people involved in the field of Artificial Intelligence where Eldridge’s article is geared towards people who are not necessarily knowledgeable about Artificial Intelligence yet are interested to learn more about the topic. Throughout the article, Parnas maintains the skeptical attitude towards Artificial Intelligence, literally ending with “Devices that use heuristics to create the illusion of Intelligence present a risk we should not accept” (Parnas, 6). Eldridge on the other hand, maintains a positive attitude throughout the article despite the shortcomings of AI. Together, both authors provide compelling arguments for and against Artificial

Tasks:2 Make a critical reflection on any two areas of knowledge (knowledge base) in International social work practice. Social workers are often very concerned even when faced with situations that require effective decision-making. To achieve this, more information and knowledge must be obtained so that the quality of decisions taken is the most effective in the best interests of its clients.
Artificial Intelligence and its effect on the workforce Artificial intelligence(AI) is a recent reality of technological advancement affecting human society. To analyze its effect on the workforce we will look back in history for technological disruptions and how they affected the workforce and compare and contrast to the way AI is currently impacting and will continue impacting the human workforce and other aspects of human society such as economics, politics and the general environment. History Throughout history technological advancement has affected human society in its ways of living, working and its environment.
Artificial Intelligence is the field within computer science to explain some aspects of the human thinking. It includes aspects of intelligence to interact with the environment through sensory means and the ability to make decisions in unforeseen circumstances without human intervention. The beginnings of modern AI can be traced to classical philosophers' attempts to describe human thinking as a symbolic system. MIT cognitive scientist Marvin Minsky and others who attended the conference
Rise of Artificial Intelligence and Ethics: Literature Review The Ethics of Artificial Intelligence, authored by Nick Bostrom and Eliezer Yudkowsky, as a draft for the Cambridge Handbook of Artificial Intelligence, introduces five (5) topics of discussion in the realm of Artificial Intelligence (AI) and ethics, including, short term AI ethical issues, AI safety challenges, moral status of AI, how to conduct ethical assessment of AI, and super-intelligent Artificial Intelligence issues or, what happens when AI becomes much more intelligent than humans, but without ethical constraints? This topic of ethics and morality within AI is of particular interest for me as I will be working with machine learning, mathematical modeling, and computer simulations for my upcoming summer internship at the Naval Surface Warfare Center (NSWC) in Norco, California. After I complete my Master Degree in 2020 at Northeastern University, I will become a full time research engineer working at this navy laboratory. At the suggestion of my NSWC mentor, I have opted to concentrate my master’s degree in Computer Vision, Machine Learning, and Algorithm Development, technologies which are all strongly associated with AI. Nick Bostrom, one of the authors on this article, is Professor in the Faculty of Philosophy at Oxford University and the Director at the Future of Humanity Institute within the Oxford Martin School.
I do not believe the field has been developed to its potential in any regard, and feel that considerable progress can be made to improve the interactive experience that users have with an artificial intelligence application. This genuine intrigue combined with my curiosity for the subject matter and the limitless potential of the field are the reason why I wish to pursue a greater depth of knowledge in artificial
