What is applied artificial intelligence?

Definition

Applied artificial intelligence begins with a real outcome and combines an appropriate model with data, software, interfaces and process design. Success depends on removing a meaningful bottleneck rather than demonstrating broad model capability without a defined user need.

A small, responsible intervention can outperform a larger autonomous system when the problem is narrow and the surrounding decisions are complex. Evaluation should connect technical behavior to time, cost, risk and user experience.
