    Author: Madsen EM, Kaminski MS, Yolton RL.
    Journal: J Am Optom Assoc; 1993 Jul; 64(7):479-89. PubMed ID: 8376717.
    Abstract:
    BACKGROUND: Artificial intelligence (AI) refers to the ability of a machine, or system, or computer program to make intelligent decisions using the same methods that humans would use. By definition, and expert system (ES) is a computer program that uses knowledge and inference procedures to solve problems which would otherwise require the application of human expertise. METHODS: The role of expert systems in current and future applications in a number of fields were reviewed. RESULTS: Expert systems have and will be making an impact in many fields, including optometry in the future. CONCLUSIONS: Expert systems present an opportunity for the profession of optometry to become more efficient or accurate, provided that their development cost could be justified.
