Software engineer and philosopher William J. Littlefield II pointed out in a recent essay that there are three types of reasoning. Two of them, we probably all learned in school: deductive and inductive reasoning. Computers can do both of these quite well.

Inductive reasoning is, by contrast, “bottom-up” reasoning, from a series of relevant facts to a conclusion, for example: The club has held 60 swim meets, 20 in each venue below: When the Club holds swim meets at Sandy Point, we get 80% approval on average.
