Symbolic AI

Symbolic AI is a branch of artificial intelligence that utilizes symbols and rules to represent and process knowledge. Unlike machine learning, which relies on identifying data patterns, Symbolic AI is grounded in explicit knowledge representation and logic-based systems to solve problems, make decisions, and simulate human reasoning.

Applications in Web Design

  • Rule-Based Chatbots: Symbolic AI can power chatbots that guide users through a website by recognizing predefined commands like "Show me your portfolio" or "What are your pricing options?"
  • Workflow Automation: Facilitates the automation of design workflows, such as generating website layouts based on specific design rules.
  • Accessibility Compliance: Ensures websites meet accessibility standards by applying logical checks to detect and correct compliance issues.

Benefits of Symbolic AI

By leveraging Symbolic AI, web design can achieve more structured and predictable outcomes, enabling designers to create user-friendly and accessible websites that adhere to defined rules and standards.
