True, but there are things where AI can help. For example, in the domain of electronic gas sensors, AI can be used to disentangle confounding variables like gas, humidity and temperature. All three affect the sensor output in a nonlinear fashion, and an ANN can learn the transfer function that extracts the (almost) pure gas response.

Yes combining relatively independent sensors will increase the MI.

The sensors are not independent.

Gas sensing is really tricky. Metal oxide gas sensors respond nonlinearly to all three of gas, temperature, and humidity. Plus they drift. AI can help with the nonlinear response. Drift hasn't been solved yet, as far as I know.

Understood,the point was if the sensors are identical, they don't give any more information, some independence is needed.
