method of reasoning in which a body of observations is synthesized to hypothesize a general principle

AI overview

Inductive reasoning is a method where you observe many specific examples and use those observations to develop a general rule or principle that explains them. It matters because it's how we often learn patterns from experience and form working theories about how the world works, though conclusions reached this way aren't guaranteed to be true.
