In an era dominated by neural networks and deep learning, it is easy to overlook the foundational technologies that made artificial intelligence practical for business and industry. Before ChatGPT and generative models, there were —the first commercially successful branch of AI.

The authors argue that conventional procedural programming is unsuitable for complex, ill-structured problems (like medical diagnosis or geological exploration). Expert systems offer a paradigm shift from "how to do" (algorithms) to "what to do" (rules). In an era dominated by neural networks and

✅ where rules must be explicit and explainable (e.g., some regulatory compliance, medical diagnosis legacy systems). some regulatory compliance
