Artificial intelligence has been around for over 60 years. In reality it covers various techniques. One of them, Expert Systems (or Knowledge-based Systems) was introduced in the 1980s, and by the start of the next decade was in significant use in many domains. We look at some practical engineering applications, mainly in diagnosing faults.
