Artificial Intelligence

Closed Loop Systems

Closed loop systems can link to AI because an AI could output something which is then adjusted on by the AI.

For example, in a manufacturing process – something could be designed by AI and then produced, then the AI can check the output for any errors and make changes based on this.
