Artificial Intelligence is ready to launch

Artificial Intelligence (AI) has long been considered a scientific idea that is hard to come by. However, an AI project developed secretly 30 years ago is ready to carry out complex human work replacements.

Cycorp has developed an intelligent, self-evolving computer that analyzes millions of pieces of information about how people think, work, talk, and solve problems. The product, called Cyc, was developed secretly in 1984 and according to the inventors, it was ready to go live.

In an interview with Business Insider, Doug Lenat, president and CEO of Cycorp, said: "For the first time, our Cyc products have come close to reality and we want to share with you. friend".

Cycorp says its system can receive instructions in English and execute them without manually coding the code. Think of a version of Siri that can do more than just Google search and simple on / off functions. Cyc is very intelligent so can understand both the written text. For example, when reading "John Smith robbed a bank and was jailed for 30 years in prison," Cycorp's system can understand that Smith was discovered, arrested, brought to court and convicted.

"This is the most important project that we have done , " Lenat said . "It will help increase the power of human intelligence ."

There are many uses in life for Cyc. Cyc is capable of imitating human intelligence at various ages and stages to study optimal teaching methods. In fact, Cyc is being used to teach mathematics to sixth graders. It can serve as a natural language tutor for the blind, against terrorism, or for use on computer games. calculated.

However, Cycorp is not the only name available on the AI market. Google is one of the companies that have invested heavily in AI systems when buying DeepMind for $ 400 million this year.
