Commonsense reasoning is the branch of Artificial intelligence concerned with replicating human thinking. There are several components to this problem, including:
- Developing adequately broad and deep commonsense knowledge bases.
- Developing reasoning methods that exhibit the features of human thinking, including the ability to:
- reason with knowledge that is true by default
- reason rapidly across a broad range of domains
- tolerate uncertainty in your knowledge
- take decisions under incomplete knowledge and perhaps revise that belief or decision when complete knowledge becomes available.
- Developing new kinds of cognitive architectures that support multiple reasoning methods and representations.

Famous quotes containing the word reasoning:
“Now, what I want is, Facts. Teach these boys and girls nothing but Facts. Facts alone are wanted in life. Plant nothing else, and root out everything else. You can only form the minds of reasoning animals upon Facts: nothing else will ever be of any service to them. This is the principle on which I bring up my own children, and this is the principle on which I bring up these children. Stick to Facts, sir!”
—Charles Dickens (1812–1870)
