    The decision tree my company uses to deny customer claims is not AI despite the business constantly referring to it as such.

    There’s definitely a ton of “AI” that is nothing more than an If/Else statement.

      for many years AI referred to that type of technology. It is not infact AGI but AI historically in the technical field refers more towards decision trees, and classification/ linear regression models.

      That’s called an expert system, and has been commonly called a form of AI for decades.

      That is indeed what most of it is, my company was doing “sentiment analysis” and it was literally just checking it against a good and bad word list

      When someone corporate says “AI” you should hear “extremely rudimentary machine learning” until given more details
