Description
This transcript from Day 2, Session 7 of the AI Expert Systems Pioneer Meeting covers the final years of the AI and expert systems industry in the late 1990s. Following a brief history of the Computer History Museum itself, the participants discuss possible reasons that the expert systems industry and most of its companies failed to thrive in the long run and why so few still exist today. Possible and partial reasons include business management approaches, company revenue models, the lack of expert systems standards, and the complexity of expert systems solutions. The discussion also continues to explore how AI and expert systems technologies have evolved and been absorbed into existing products and services. Examples include rule-based systems, enterprise search, business rules, and knowledge-based systems.
