Expert System: A branch of artificial intelligence that uses a knowledge-based system to emulate the decision-making ability of a human expert. Expert systems are designed to solve complex problems by reasoning through bodies of knowledge, represented mainly as if-then rules rather than through conventional procedural code. They are often used to provide answers to questions, solve problems, or give advice in specialized fields like medicine, engineering, or finance. Expert systems use a ‘knowledge base’ and an ‘inference engine’ to simulate human expertise and derive conclusions.
