Expert systems attempt to mirror a human expert's knowledge and decision-making power through absolute knowledge recall from a database. These systems can be thought of as flow charts or 'if this, then that' decision trees.
"Generative AI systems should sometimes be paired with more traditional 'expert systems' to ensure their answers on critical topics like medicine are grounded in facts—in the way a human doctor uses a diagnostic manual to carefully rule out possible diseases and aid in common diagnoses."
