**TLDR:** The process of deriving new conclusions from available knowledge, rules, or observations and grounding decisions.

<p>Reasoning represents the side of AI that goes beyond recognizing data and actually draws conclusions from it. When a system combines one observation with another piece of information to reach a new conclusion, establishes logical consistency, or chooses the most plausible interpretation under uncertainty, it is engaging in reasoning. This concept appears in different forms across classical symbolic systems and modern large models alike. Strong reasoning is especially important in multi-step problem solving, decision support, planning, and expert system design.</p>
