"I think the best hope for human-level AI is logical AI, based on the formalizing of commonsense knowledge and reasoning in mathematical logic. Formalizing common sense requires extensions to mathematical logic including nonmonotonic reasoning and extensive reification, e.g., of concepts and also contexts. The reifications require appropriate reflection schemas." – from The Future of AI—A Manifesto by John McCarthy. AI Magazine 26(4), (2005).
In practice, today's best ATP system are however still far weaker than trained mathematicians in most research domains. Machine learning from many proofs could be used to improveonthis.
