1. The document discusses giving machines common sense through various techniques from artificial intelligence like machine learning and neural networks. It proposes that machines can develop basic common sense through visual processing and recognizing patterns in images similar to how humans learn as children.
2. It provides an example of enhancing a dustbin with sensors to detect objects and only open when trash is detected, displaying basic common sense. A flowchart and graph are presented to illustrate how common sense reasoning would work in machines.
3. In the future, it suggests that more household appliances and even entire homes could be automated to perform tasks based on sensing contexts like presence of people through common sense reasoning.
