Q1: Advantages and disadvantages of Expert System in Artificial
Intelligence.

- Advantages
 Improve delicious quality for example in automation can enhance decision-making.
 Greater accessibility and dependability: Expertise is available on any computer
hardware, and the system consistently delivers solutions on schedule.
 Permit non-experts to draw conclusions that are backed up by science.
 lowers the expense of hiring a specialist to solve the issue. Multiple experts: To
address an issue, several expert systems may be used in parallel. and develop more
knowledge than a human specialist.
 It can take on a challenge that is too complex for a human specialist to handle.
 Rapid response: The expert systems are quick and have the capacity to address issues
immediately.
 The expert system is always accessible and never takes time off for vacation or
illness.
 In contrast to a human expert who may forget or make mistakes, the computer makes
use of all the knowledge available to it.
- Disadvantage
 The employment of AI in any form is currently fraught with ethical issues.
 More expensive especially in development area. Expert systems only have
rudimentary knowledge, and even straightforward tasks may become computationally
expensive.
 Taken more time because it takes all the possible solution for a particular problem.
 No having common sense in taking decision. For a certain situation, the expert system
might select the worst approach.
 Having more bugs in its programs which make cause it to take wrong decisions
 Not able to adapt to altering environments which hack the creative responses that
human experts are capable of.
 Required ground verification and require manual update for the development of
specific domain. Since data collecting is particularly challenging, expert systems
require expertise engineers to input the data.
  No capable to process for complex automation and not capable of justify the logic and
reasoning behind making a decision.

Q2: What is knowledge-based systems? What can knowledge-based systems

do?

- What is knowledge-based systems?

A knowledge-based system is a shape of artificial intelligence (AI) that want to take the
knowledge of human experts to improve decision-making. Expert systems, so named
because they depend on human expertise, are examples of knowledge-based systems. A
knowledge-based system's methodology or method for solving problems may change.
KBS consists of two key components: the knowledge base and the inference engine. The
knowledge base contains all the data you need, and the inference engine tells the system
how to handle the data. Most KBS have a user interface (UI) that makes it easier for users
to submit requests and interact with them.
- What can knowledge-based systems do?
Knowledge-based systems does a variety of applications. For example, in the medical
field, KBS helps doctors diagnose illnesses more accurately. These systems are called
clinical decision support systems in the healthcare industry. KBS can also be used in
various fields such as industrial equipment failure diagnosis, avalanche route analysis,
and cash management. Knowledge-based systems have also been employed in
applications as diverse as avalanche path analysis, industrial equipment fault diagnosis
and cash management. In a business-to-consumer (B2C) environment, KBS can speed up
the delivery of goods and services. KBS is also useful when professionals are not readily
available. For example, CAS can diagnose a particular medical condition, so patients in a
medical lab may not need to present the results of the lab to their doctor.
 Q3: What is Knowledge Acquisition?
Knowledge Aquation (KA) is the process of extracting domain-specific problem-solving
expertise from a knowledge source and representing it in machine manipulable form .
The term is generally used in the context of expert systems development, where such
knowledge is acquired from a human expert. The knowledge then forms the basis for a
technical artifact that can reasonably simulate expert problem-solving behavior in the
domain under consideration.
- Structured Interviews
Structured interview is a way to gather information on a topic, a structured interview
focuses on asking questions in a predetermined sequence. While structured interviews are
often associated with job interviews, they are also common in marketing, social science,
survey methodology, and other research fields. Structured interviews are the most
systematized type of interview. Because the questions are prepared in terms of topic and
order, structured interviews are different from other types of interviews. The interviewer
employs predefined questions in a specified order, as opposed to semi-structured or
unstructured interviews.
