No challenge today is more important than creating beneficial artificial general intelligence (AGI), with broad capabilities at the human level and ultimately beyond. OpenCog is an open-source software initiative aimed at directly confronting that challenge.
Check it out — thanks to Shujing Ke, we now have a “frequent and surprising pattern miner” for OpenCog, which runs either on a single machine or distributed across multiple machines! This is a “greedy algorithm” for exhaustively finding patterns in an Atomspace. In the big picture, it’s intended to complement smarter but even-slower non-greedy [...]
Hanson Robotics, the world’s premier maker of realistic humanoid robot heads and faces, is partnering with the OpenCog Foundation to develop general intelligence for Hanson robots. Recently relocated to Hong Kong, Hanson Robotics is collaborating closely with Gino Yu’s OpenCog oriented R&D lab at Hong Kong Poly U, as well as with iCog Labs in [...]
