AI APPROACH

The aim of AI is to simulate the human attributes of logical intelligence, reasoning and knowledge
acquirement in machines. We have been experiencing how this works in the form of virtual
assistants like Siri, Alexa and Chatbots. Generally, AI models have two kinds of approaches:

Rule-based approach Learning-based approach

RULE-BASED APPROACH

A rule-based system uses rules as knowledge representation. These rules are coded in the system
in the form of if-then-else statements which help the computer in taking decisions. The idea
behind a rule-based system is to use the knowledge of a human expert in a specialised domain
and embody it within the computer system.

LEARNING-BASED APPROACH

A computer system that achieves AI through a machine learning technique is called a
learning-based approach. This approach is often referred to as black boxes as it is not entirely
clear how these systems take decisions. This is a major problem for applications when it comes to
making a decision for investment, medical or military reasons as this approach remains unreliable.
