What is Domain-Specific AI?

Last reviewed:

Quick Answer

Domain-Specific AI is artificial intelligence trained and optimized for a particular industry, workflow, or problem domain—such as insurance claims, healthcare authorization, or logistics exceptions. Unlike general-purpose AI, domain-specific systems understand industry terminology, regulations, and workflows at expert-level depth.

Definition

**Domain-Specific AI** goes deep rather than broad. By focusing on a single domain, these systems achieve higher accuracy, better regulatory compliance, and more useful outputs than general AI attempting the same tasks.

Key Points

  • Trained on industry-specific data and expert knowledge
  • Understands domain terminology, regulations, and workflows
  • Achieves 85-95% accuracy vs. 60-70% for general AI
  • Integrates industry-specific rules and compliance requirements
  • Provides context-aware recommendations
  • Continuously learns from domain expert feedback
