Because Mentifex Seed AI in JavaScript and the Mind.Forth AI Engine in Win32Forth are based on http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Connectionism#Spreading_activation from concept to concept, any mentifex-class AI Mind cannot do otherwise than to link concepts based on association. Mentifex AI is evolving to a point where, if a user types in a word such as "robots" the AI will then try to generate a sentence using the "robots" concept. Since the knowledge base (KB) inside the AI program is seeded with only three dozen concepts, the ability of the AI to associate from concept to concept is almost nil at the start, and analogous to infancy in humans. Each Mentifex AI is being outfitted with modules of machine learning by means of the asking of questions, so that the lack of an associand concept during sentence-generation leads to the asking of a question and the opportunity for a human attendant (psychonomist) to fill in the missing information needed by the AI. Mind.Forth slows its own thinking to wait for a reply. The Mentifex AI project is attempting to take over or, if you will, "hijack" two key cyberspatial namespaces -- http://mind.sourceforge.net/seedai.html "Seed AI" and http://mind.sourceforge.net/mind4th.html "AI Engine". http://mind.sourceforge.net/perl.html is called "Perl AI blog of artificial intelligence evolving from Seed AI to Singularity AI" -- not for any purpose of Mentifex self-aggrandizement but rather so as to hasten the spread and success of Open Source AI. As the Mind.Forth "AI Engine" for robots evolves, only hard-core AI enthusiasts will download both Win32Forth and Mind.Forth to see the AI in action. (Site Meter logs indicate such activity worldwide.) On the other hand, the recent name-switch from "jsaimind.html" to "seedai.html" and "Seed AI" for the JavaScript version of the Mind.Forth AI communicates the idea that the one-click-launch AI in JavaScript -- so easy to run and to copy onto any user's C drive as a "mind.html" file -- is truly a Seed AI engendering Singularity AI if enough programmers take up the AGI-evo baton.
