Abstract

The 21st century world has experienced all-around changes from the 4th industrial revolution. In this developmental changes, artificial intelligence is at the heart, with data science adopting certain scientific methods and tools on data. It is necessary to investigate on the logic lying underneath the methods and tools. We look at the origins of logic, deduction and induction, and scientific methods, together with mathematical induction, probabilistic method and data science, and their meaning.
