Epstein Secrets

ch an enterprise come about? The spark that set iCog Labs in motion occurred when Amara Angelica, the ringleader of KurzweilAl.net and various other Ray Kurzweil initiatives, had the inspiration to introduce two of her friends: Hong Kong based AGI researcher Ben Goertzel, and Ethiopian roboticist and Singula

every location on the planet. While IBM has put a supercomputing facility in Kenya, none of the major tech firms has moved into Ethiopia yet -- but OpenCog is there, gaining benefit from the large volume of tech graduates produced by Ethiopian universities, and at the same time producing a population of

some seed funding to enable the training of an initial programming team. And so iCog was born. Our idea was to have iCog do a mix of AI R&D on the OpenCog project, and commercial outsourcing for AI projects based around the world. The commercial projects would fund the AI R&D, and might also lead to e

eed for your article but you can pick and choose as you wish ;) By the way, technically, Epstein Foundation hasn't actually funded iCog Labs or the OpenCog researchers working there. Epstein Foundation has funded the OpenCog Hong Kong effort, which has been **very very very** much appreciated; but the

Note also recent results published by Microsoft Research, showing dramatic impr

connecting CogPrime to a virtual world (such as Second Life, Multiverse, or Unity3D, to name sonic of the virtual world / gaming platforms to which OpenCog has already been connected in practice).

can be used for color vision, and multi-sensory and perception-action integration. The approach presented here begins with two separate Al systems, OpenCog (introduced in Chapter 6.3) and DeSTIN (introduced in Chapter 4.3.1) - both currently implemented in open-source software. Here are the relevant fe

somewhat in the de- tails from the manner in which these things would be incorporated into a standalone DeSTIN, but pursuing the same concepts in an OpenCog integration context. What we describe here is a way to make a "Uniform DeSTIN", in which the internal repre- sentation of perceived visual forms is

OPENCOG & GOOGLE In terms of OpenCog and my own work, it seems clear that, if I can put together the right sort of demo for

Ray's feeling is that if I can show him that, then we can figure out a practical way for Google, me and OpenCog to collaborate on building something having great economic value to Google, as well as having some incremental value in building toward AGI.
