Summary

NSAI is the new kid on the block in the field of AI. NSAI is considered by many as the next level of AI, or the new AI revolution, mainly due to its ability to equip machines with human-like reasoning capabilities.

This chapter started by venturing through human psychology’s vast and exciting realm. We briefly explored the human reasoning process and discussed how humans and other beings develop the ability to understand and reason about physical world objects early on. Common-sense knowledge seems to be an innate skill that humans possess—or at least one that we can learn autonomously to a certain degree. We then dissected the hybrid NSAI model into its constituent parents: Symbolic AI and NNs. NNs seem to have granted Symbolic AI a second chance to prove itself as a worthy contender for achieving the original motivation behind AI systems—reaching human levels of reasoning intelligence in computers. Further, we also discussed the NSCL, NSDR, and NLM...
