NeSy AI aims to replicate human-like intelligence by bridging what Daniel Kahneman refers to as and System 2 (slow, deliberate reasoning) .
The state of the art in as of 2026 represents the "third wave" of AI, moving beyond the "scaling is all you need" hypothesis toward systems that combine the intuitive pattern recognition of neural networks with the logical rigor of symbolic reasoning . This hybrid paradigm addresses critical failures in pure deep learning, such as hallucinations, lack of explainability, and high data requirements.

Uses explicit rules, knowledge graphs, and logic to perform formal reasoning, which provides high transparency and interpretability. State-of-the-Art Architectures (2025–2026) The Core Paradigm: Perception meets Logic Uses explicit
