Salesforce’s AI grasps commonsense reasoning

Sophisticated AI models are capable of performing incredible feats, from predicting which patients are likely to develop breast cancer and spotting early signs of glaucoma from eye scans to hallucinating fake landscapes that look indistinguishable from the real thing. But despite their versatility, they share a common shortcoming: a lack of commonsense reasoning. Try telling a machine learning algorithm to predict what will happen when you push a ball off a table or when a person trips down the stairs. Unless it has been explicitly “taught” laws of physics through training on countless examples, it will struggle.
