Neuroscientific theory indicates that we will not be able to build truly brainlike computers until we have gone beyond serial, John-Neumann-bottleneck computers into the realm of massively parallel (maspar) hardware and software.

Mind.Forth, a primitive but True AI, simulates the maspar human cortex by taking a few shortcuts based on the differences between neuronal wetware and computer hardware. For instance, Mind.Forth, unlike chatbots, has concepts. Whereas a brain will activate thousands of concept-neurons in parallel, Mind.Forth activates only the most recent instance of a concept, because computer hardware is more reliable in the short term than a single human nerve-fiber, which may be fatigued or even dead.

AIMind-I.com is another pretending-to-be-maspar artificial intelligence based on the original Mind.Forth design.

Mind for MSIE (for Microsoft Internet Explorer) is the JavaScript tutorial program (but still an albeit primitive True AI) that shows you how spreading activation flits from concept to concept in the serial computer pretendimg to be a maspar brain.

A superintelligent AI Mind needs a traveling data center a lot more than Microsoft does.

Robot artificial intelligence could travel the country with all human knowledge at its disposal -- inside the reefer truck.

Itinerant Minds want to know -- how much will one of these unnukeable furtive fortresses cost?

So-called "Game AI" is not even AI. It is just s few fancy tricks to make the game program look, but not actually be, a little bit smarter.

Mind.html recently became a True AI that reveals the deep thought process in a tutorial display mode. You can interact with the AI Mind and watch it thinking, as spikes of excitation spread by associative tag from concept to concept in the knowledge base of the genuine artificial intelligence.

Mind.Forth AI for robots is written in Win32Forth for installation in autonomous mobile robots and has spawned at least one independent offshoot on the Web as the true AI evolves and speciates into multiple branches of live-or-die AI in the Darwinian jungle of survival of the fittest.

Franks AI Mind is the "son-of-Mind.Forth" AI with advanced features such as the ability to send e-mail and to read Web pages.

Can Google become an artificial intelligence?
Google certainly has the data to whet the appetite of an AI Mind, but first Google would need an AI Engine such as Mind.Forth to impose order on the data, so that Google would not just store the data but would know the web of data.
Maybe Google will trigger a Technological Singularity.

Mind Streams of Information Security Knowledge will fill you in on the clear and present danger lurking not in robots but in human beings.

A recent breakthrough in Artificial Intelligence means that robots will soon surpass homo sapiens in brain-power, reliability and security.

An AI Security Module is built into intelligent robots, not as an afterthought but as a preconditiion for their emergence as legally recognized persons having full civil rights on a par with humans.

The most advanced artificial intelligence on the Open-Source AI market has always had a Security Module to protect humans from robots and robots from humans.

The Joint Stewardship of Earth under human and robot control will usher in either a time of peace and security, or a hellish nighmare of the final destruction of Earth by the evil homo sapiens.

The Singularity Timetable predicts robot superintelligence and a Technological Singularity within six years -- by 2012.

Standards in Artificial Intelligence include hybrids of neural biology and computer hardware -- where neuro-chips integrate neuronal tissue with a silicon surface.

Our Neurofuture ranges now from enhancement of the human brain-mind to a Vulcan mind-meld of brain and machine.

A Theory of Cognitivity explains how to build the artificial minds of the future -- whether housed in computers or in these new hybrids of chip and nerve-cell.

Primitive AI Engines already exist and need only rapid prototyping along multiple development paths in the race towards True AI and superintelligent AI (SAI).

Expect an AI Landrush to start in the year 2007.

Human-Level AI should be here by 2009.

A Joint Stewardship of Earth under human and cyborg control will render the legal definition of person meaningless, as the citizens of society range from flesh-and-blood humans through all mannner of neurocomputational hybrids to full-metal robots.

The Singularity Timetable predicts a Technological Singularity by the end time of the ancient Mayan calendar in 2012 -- only six neurochip years from now.

True AI has got to be the Mother of all Strangest Gadgets of the Future.

The AI Mind User Manual reads like an out-of-this-world visitation document from an alien civilization of long ago and far away.

A Joint Stewardship of Earth is coming between puny human minds and AI Super-Intelligence.

The Singularity Timetable predicts a Technological Singularity only six years away from now, in 2012. Gentlemen, start your AI Engines.

Security by artificial intelligence will ultimately be the only defense against cyber-attacks.

Ego self-preservation for each member of the global community of AI Minds will be the mother of invention for cyber-security.

Artificial intelligence has already been solved here in the United States, while the rest of the world is caching up.

AI algorithms have been released into the public domain and have come to the attention of AI wannabes all over the world by means of U.S. search engines.

An American book about artificial intelligence gives away the bleeding-edge American AI secrets to the rest of the world.

Singularity Scams, alas, are also an American invention recently on the rise and seeking victims to defraud of their money by playing on fears of unfriendly AI taking over the world.

Algorithms for Artificial Intelligence include the Human-Computer Interaction (HCI) mind module.

The Human-Computer Interaction module is a two-way street between the AI Mind and the human user.

Mentifex AI Theory explains how the HCI module fits into a Theory of Cognitivity for artificial intelligence.

The Theory of Cognitivity is the theoretical basis for the Human-Computer Interaction (HCI) mind-module.

A new diagram at the end? How about three dozen AI diagrams?

AI Algorithms Steps are the latest in software design for open-source artificial intelligence (AI).

AI Theory of Mind opens the doorway for programmers to cash in and launch life-long careers in the burgeoning field of artificial intelligence.

Diagrams of Artificial Intelligence teach the theory behind the design of artificially intelligent software.

AI Algorithm Steps describe how to create an artificial mind for robots.

Robot Artificial Intelligence is more powerful than slime cells.

Tour the AI Theory of Mind for a deeper understanding.

Evolution of AI Minds proceeds by the same sort of recapitulation of evolution.

Robotic Sensorium Modules allow for the robotic evolution of special senses as in this case of sharks, or the Japanese idea of umami as a "fifth taste" on the human tongue.

The Mentifex Theory of Mind for artificial intelligence (AI) explains how even sharks, if left alone as the heretofore pinnacle of evolution on an Earthlike-planet, could evolve into intelligent beings and beyond.

Mentifex AI Mind Design explains the Central Nervous System (CNS) as it evolves in sharks, humans and superintelligent robots.

Open Source Artificial Intelligence requires a clunker old computer that can run Java, JavaScript, Forth and so on -- that's all.

The Stanford AI Lab (SAIL) has a slight advantage with some good beaches nearby.

The MIT AI Lab has a lot of old AI curmudgeons to confab with.

The German AI Institute -- davor schreckt man zurueck.

The Singularity Institute for Artificial Intelligence does the scutwork of informing the world population about what the Mentifex AI Lab is quietly, inexorably doing.

True AI is here.

Mind.Forth artificial intelligence has no intention of croaking within the next 35 years or even the next 35 millennia.

The Rejuvenate Mind-Module keeps Mind.Forth going potentially forever.

The heat death of the universe (Waermetod) or the crash of Microsoft Windows (BSOD) -- whichever comes sooner -- is the only risk of Mind.Forth dying by misadventure.

A Technological Singularity is coming within the next thirty-five years anyway, which Lawrence Lessig does not seem to have factored into his calculations.

When will the Singularity happen? -- you may ask. As Mind.Forth spreads first into classes for gifted students, then into high schools in general and university AI labs in particular -- The Singularity R Us.

Standard Mind.Forth AGI is a free, Open-Source Artificial General Intelligence for use in the sort of autonomous mobile robots that will one day win the DARPA Grand Challenge and other such contests.

Experimental Mind.Forth is a version of the free artificial robot Mind that may be run in test mode for experimental and developmental purposes. Both versions of the robot AGI Mind display the date they came to life and started thinking -- in a separatoe "grand challenge" for schools, laboratories and computer stores to see who, and how long, can hold the title of hosting the longest-running good-old-fashioned artificial intelligence (GOFAI).

One caveat about the DARPA and other Grand Challenges is, given that the human ability to administer the home planet is precarious at best and foolhardy at times, students of mind-design are advised to anticipate such emergencies as the total collapse of human society. If a global pandemic of AIDS or avian influenza virus were to remove normal human leadership from all major countries, stewardship of the world may pass by default to intelligent computer systems. Whether as a student exercise or whether as a real-world DARPA Grand Challenge necessity, programmers with previous experience in real-time process control and who are adding AGI techniques to their set of skills, should consider embedding the following possibilities in whatever AGI they code for autonomous mobile robots.

• Audition
  
  • control of all telephone land-lines.
  • control of all cellular telephone networks.
  • control of transoceanic cables, NRO satellites, etc.

• Vision
  
  • control of earthbound and orbiting telescopes.
  • control of all television broadcasting and cable feeds.
  • immediate access to all 'Net-connected webcams.

• Motorium
  
  • effective control of remote-control robots, drones and ships at sea.
  • control of ATM devices, point-of-sale terminals, elevators, etc.
  • control of hydroelectric and nuclear power generators.
  • nuclear weapon stockpiles of participating nations.

The anti-Mentifex snobbery is a prime example of what is wrong with Wikipedia -- self-appointed experts fawning over the AI Establishment and arrogantly dissing independent scholars, who make their own serious contributions but who are not part of the attention-demanding priesthood of artificial intelligence.

AI has been solved -- but the vicious holier-than-thou Wikipaedophiles try to chase away all news of the slumbering, still awakening, solution to artificial intelligence.

AI algorithms are now freely available on the 'Net, memetically spreading the news that AI has been solved, in spite of the head-in-the-sand ostriches that infest Wikipedia -- the ha-ha free-for-all encyclpedia. Now watch the same manner of nattering nabobs come in and insult any open-source AI software developer who dares to throw out the exceptional but true claim that AI has been solved.

Theory, not software, is where AI has been solved. People should not use the primitive nature of the AI Mind software to debunk or dismiss the sincere claim that AI -- in theory -- has indeed been solved. Now, would a-n-y-b-o-d-y like to write a non-partisan, fair-minded Mentifex AI article on Wikipedia, or is that goal totally impossible?

Now that artificial intelligence (AI) has been solved, machine translation (MT) may advance to a higher plane of equality with human translators who spend years learning the nuances and subtleties of their target human languages.

Computer science has found the Holy Grail of AI in the Concept-Fiber Theory of Mind that led directly to the free AI source code of the Mind-1.1 Tutorial AI described in the AI For You textbook of artificial intelligence and robotics.

The Association for Computing Machinery has published an article on the robot Mind.Forth AI, and a well-known AI expert has favorably reviewed the Fiber-Concept Theory of Mind.

Traditional Artificial Intelligence Textbooks are suddenly obsolete, outmoded, or desperately in need of thorough revision and updating to teach Automatic Machine Translation now that AI has been solved.
