Symbolic AI

With its unmatched explainability, accuracy, and systematic reasoning, Symbolic AI continues to be a vital cornerstone of artificial intelligence in a time when deep learning and neural networks rule the field. The history, present, and future of artificial intelligence (AI) are explored in depth in this book, which explores the realm of rule-based intelligence and knowledge systems.

This book offers a thorough examination of how Symbolic AI functions, its areas of strength, and how it combines with contemporary machine learning methods, covering everything from expert systems and logical reasoning to knowledge graphs and hybrid AI. Regardless of your background researcher, developer, or AI enthusiast you will learn about:

The history and development of Good Old-Fashioned AI (GOFAI)

• Fundamental ideas of automated reasoning, inference engines, and logic
• Uses of rule-based systems in the fields of finance, law, and healthcare
• How intelligent data is organized using knowledge graphs and ontologies
• Neuro-symbolic AI's ascent, which unites deep learning and logic, and its significance for the development of Explainable AI (XAI) and Artificial General Intelligence (AGI)
