- Mindpixel Digital Mind Modeling Project The Mindpixel Corpus will soon be the world's largest database of consensus human knowledge, built by tens of thousands of people just like you from all over Earth, speaking many languages.
- Open Mind Commonsense Open Mind Initiative subproject to teach computers common sense reasoning. Hosted at MIT Media Lab, under the guidance of Marvin Minsky.
- Wired News: Two Fake Brains Better Than One Short story about Mindpixel, Open Mind, some difference between them, and possible cooperation.
- Open Mind Initiative World-wide collaborative effort to develop smart software. Collects information from non-expert Internet users, to teach computers the myriad things we all know and which underlie general intelligence but which we usually take for granted. Several subprojects.
- BBC: Clicking for consciousness Covers Chris McKinstry, Mindpixel, GAC.
- PBS.org: Cringely: Put On Your Thinking Cap Covers Chris McKinstry, Mindpixel, GAC.
- Time Europe: Techwatch: Site Seeing Computers still can't think for themselves. To do that they'd need the cyber equivalent of common sense: the millions of pieces of ordinary knowledge that humans take for granted. Very brief story on Mindpixel and Open Mind.
- Artificial Intelligence in the World Wide Web On KurzweilAI.net, by David G. Stork, Chief Scientist, Ricoh California Research Center. The Internet is a new metaphor for the human brain, making it possible for hundreds of millions of Web users to teach computers common-sense knowledge, similar to SETI@home's search for E.T.
