The World-Wide-Mind project

This work proposes that the construction of advanced artificial minds may be too difficult for any single laboratory to complete. At the moment, no easy system exists whereby a working mind can be made from the components of two or more laboratories. This system aims to change that, and accelerate the growth of Artificial Intelligence, once the requirement that a single laboratory understand the entire system is removed.

Oisín Mac Fhearaí starts PhD, Oct 2007. His mission is to speed up the WWM technology between 100 and 1,000 times. Initial prototyping shows this to be possible.
