    Expert Systems prolifered. An expert system is a computer program that uses artificial intelligence technologies to simulate the judgment and behavior of a human aimed to solve complex problems
  • Period: to

    Second AI winter

    Another Period of reduced funding and interest in AI caused by the high cost of the XCON expert system and the low profit and resulting lack of commercial results. Again Investors and government stopped in funding for AI research as due to high cost but not efficient result. The expert system such as XCON was very cost effective.
