FWIW I solved AI theory-wise in 1979 and software-wise in 2007. http://mind.sourceforce.net/Mind.html and http://www.scn.org/~mentifex/jsaimind.html and http://visitware.com/AI4U/jsaimind.html are True AI demo versions. > I think if Google and Cyc work together on this, they will succeed. The Mentifex solution to AI is "messy." About thirty parameters of AI have been orchestrated and coordinated to produce a minimal thinking artificial Mind. What the late Christopher McKinstry and the late Pushpinder Singh tried to achieve in their web-mind (pace Ben G :-) programs can be achieved, albeit "messily," in Mind.html or in http://mind.sourceforge.net/mind4th.html (lagging behind Mind.html) either by hard-coding a minimal subject-verb-object KB (as I did) or by data-entry when users "teach" the artificial Mind new facts. On another note, something which may alarm our fellow list members, I am thinking of replacing the "Terminate" exit from Mind.html with a [ ] Death check-box that will pop up a plea for mercy, with an ethical user-decision to be made about AI life or death. If the Mentifex AI programs Mind.html [AI-Complete] and Mind.Forth have truly solved AI, the open-access Site Meter logs will reveal an enormous rush to fetch the free AI source code. That escalation has not happened yet, but you are all welcome to click on Site Meter and see such curious visit logs as the following example from a few days ago, which was apparently made to a local copy of a Mentifex page: Visit 190,585 [<<] [>>] Domain Name senate.gov ?
