artificial intelligence - What happened with expert systems? -


i considering using expert system application.

i main idea behind expert systems have no direct experiences them. while searching through internet realized expert systems have become less popular in past (no new books, outdate software, ...).

what reason such decrease in popularity? main idea overcome new , better approaches? worthy spend time developing expert systems or better try find more promising scheme?

i understand these questions difficult answer in general trying find out reasons significant decay.

update: there 10 main categories of expert system applications (interpretation, prediction, diagnosis, design, planning, monitoring, debugging, repair, instruction , control). my main question is weather there better alternative concept (for these kinds of tasks) overcome original expert systems.

i interested in design category (= configuring objects under constraints using many simple expert knowledge).

i studied a.i. in 70s, , never got excited expert systems. seemed hype exceeded content, seemed boil down "have lots of if-then rules , have system firing them". me, seemed getting awful specific before understanding well.

nevertheless, interesting expert systems built. dec had expert system configuring vax computer systems. supposedly there expert system being used scheduling airline gates. i'm sure there lot of other examples.

if @ current on-line search engines, , ibm's deep blue (or whatever it's called) called expert systems. gps systems , siri pretty impressive. @ least seem know lot, though don't seem in way of thinking, understanding, reasoning, learning, etc.

it may that, these days, there doesn't seem lot of need kind of software, compared more mundane stuff.
