They consist of two main components: a knowledge base containing facts and rules, and an inference engine that applies logical reasoning to derive new information or solutions. Unlike traditional software, KBS can explain their reasoning process, making them valuable in fields like medicine, engineering, and finance where transparency and expert-level decision-making are critical.</p>
