Computational Thinking and Artificial Intelligence

Computational thinking can be thought of as an extension of thinking critically or reasoning with evidence. This often involves logical thinking and argumentation, where we mean the classical, formal sense of argumentation as opposed to bickering. We could say that this kind of logical thinking builds upon three fundamental ways to approach a problem: ad hoc thinking, deductive thinking, or inductive thinking. Thinking, then, seems to be at the very core of being human and being intelligent enough to solve problems in the world. As such, people began to wonder if we could model thinking and intelligence.
