The computer is permitted to be deceptive; however, the human is required to help the questioner reach the correct conclusion

social media

platforms like Twitter, Facebook, and Instagram enable people to connect and exchange ideas

rules-based systems

software that asks questions and responds based on preprogrammed algorithms, were the first expert systems designed
