Choosing the Right Problem for Artificial Intelligence Part 5

If the application requirements can be met with the use of conventional computing techniques, they should be used because it is probably easier to use conventional methods than the technology of artificial intelligence. However, if it is difficult to define quantitatively and in straightforward serial logic the permutations and approaches to solving the problem, then AI technology is likely to be the better choice. In most cases – and this is where the evaluation of opportunities can be critical. Some have suggested that AI projects focus on high-value applications.
