    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.

      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
