Today, we'll explore how Conventional AI is used in banking, especially for fraud detection. Does anyone know how these systems function?
I think they look for patterns in transactions.
That's correct! They follow specific rules set up by the developers. Can anyone provide an example of what types of rules might be used?
Maybe keywords or unusual transaction sizes?
Absolutely! They might flag transactions that are out of pattern, like large withdrawals from a new account. Let's remember 'PATTERN' as a mnemonic—P stands for Predictable, A for Analysis, and T for Transaction. These characteristics help in identification and ensuring security in banking.
So, do these systems learn on their own?
Not exactly. They require human intervention to update rules. That's a limitation of Conventional AI. Would anyone like to summarize what we've discussed?
Conventional AI in banking detects fraud based on pre-defined rules and patterns.
Well done! Let's move on to retail applications.
Now, let's focus on retail. How do you think Conventional AI is applied here?
Is it about managing inventory levels?
Yes! AI helps track inventory more efficiently. Can anyone suggest some benefits of using these systems?
It can reduce human errors and save time!
Excellent! Remember the acronym 'TIME' for tracking: T stands for Tracking, I for Inventory, M for Management, and E for Efficiency. This underscores the essence of Conventional AI in enhancing operations.
What happens if there's an unexpected demand?
Good question! Conventional AI may struggle with unpredictability since it relies on historical data and rules. That's a limitation we need to keep in mind. Let’s summarize our discussion!
In retail, Conventional AI tracks inventory to ensure products are in stock and reduces human error.
Perfect summary! Now we’ll explore healthcare applications.
Healthcare is another crucial area for Conventional AI. How do you think AI assists medical professionals?
By helping with diagnoses!
They might use symptoms or patient history.
Yes! They analyze symptoms to suggest possible diagnoses based on fixed medical rules. Let's use the mnemonic 'MEDIC' to remember: M for Medical, E for Expert, D for Diagnosis, I for Information, and C for Conclusion. This illustrates their role in decision-making.
Can these systems replace doctors?
No, they assist but don’t replace human expertise. They lack emotional intelligence and complex judgment skills. Before we conclude, how would you summarize our discussion today?
In healthcare, Conventional AI supports diagnoses based on established medical rules without replacing human doctors.
Great job! Summarizing key points helps reinforce learning!
Read a summary of the section's main ideas. Choose from Basic, Medium, or Detailed.
Conventional AI is utilized in different sectors such as banking, retail, and healthcare, underscoring its role in handling structured tasks with predefined rules, offering solutions like fraud detection, inventory management, and diagnostic expert systems.
In this section, we delve into how Conventional AI, also known as symbolic AI, is employed across various sectors. Unlike Generative AI, which relies on data-driven methods to learn and create new content, Conventional AI operates on pre-defined rules and logic established by human designers. This predictability makes it useful in highly structured environments with clear parameters.
These applications highlight the efficiency and reliability of Conventional AI in structured tasks where rules are clear and the risk of ambiguity is low. Understanding its application enhances our insight into how Conventional AI shapes various industries.

• Banking: Fraud detection systems using rule-based patterns.
In banking, conventional AI is used to create fraud detection systems that help identify suspicious activities. These systems follow preset rules and logic to determine if a transaction is potentially fraudulent. For instance, if a customer's credit card is suddenly used for a large transaction in a different country, the system might flag it as suspicious based on predefined criteria.
Imagine a security guard at a bank who knows the regular customers and their typical transactions. If they see someone who usually withdraws small amounts suddenly trying to take out a large sum all of a sudden, the guard might stop them and check for identification. The same principle applies to fraud detection systems—they monitor transactions based on learned behaviors and rules.

• Retail: Inventory management systems.
In retail, conventional AI helps manage inventory by keeping track of stock levels and predicting when to reorder items. These systems use established rules to determine how much product to order based on sales data, seasonal trends, and predefined thresholds. This approach ensures that stores do not run out of popular items and helps in reducing excess inventory.
Think of a store manager who knows that every summer, ice cream sales spike. Based on past experiences, the manager keeps a rule to order more ice cream as summer approaches. Similarly, an inventory management system acts like this manager, using data and set rules to make decisions about stock.

• Healthcare: Diagnostic expert systems with fixed medical rules.
In healthcare, conventional AI is used in diagnostic expert systems that utilize fixed medical rules to assist doctors in diagnosing diseases. These systems analyze a patient's symptoms against a database of known conditions and provide possible diagnoses based on those rules. For instance, if a patient presents with a combination of symptoms that match a specific disease, the system will suggest that condition to the medical professional.
Imagine a doctor who always consults a medical textbook before making a diagnosis. The textbook has established guidelines and criteria for various diseases. A diagnostic expert system works similarly, applying fixed rules from medical knowledge to guide health professionals in their decision-making process.
