expert system
Automated specialist program
An expert system is software designed to replicate the decision-making of a human specialist in a particular field.
It applies rules and knowledge bases to solve problems that would normally require professional expertise—diagnosing diseases, configuring equipment, or evaluating loan applications.
The term emerged in artificial intelligence research of the 1970s and 80s: The expert system flagged the transaction as potentially fraudulent.
Expert systems were early attempts at practical AI, though they've largely been superseded by machine learning approaches.
