Language would be an issue in China -- most science students there can grok written English, but spoken English lectures are often a problem. One would need to have subtitles done, or a running Chinese translation...
I'm working on an edited AGI textbook, as one among many background projects -- hopefully to be done in mid-2013.... If so I've mused about the idea of doing a MOOC (massive open online course) on AGI, probably in Spring 2014 ... maybe affiliated with Hong Kong Poly U or the University of Addis Ababa ... However, I haven't been thinking of this as a business venture, just as a nonprofit offering... Anyway there certainly is room for multiple AI/AGI online courses... -- Ben On Tue, Nov 13, 2012 at 4:09 PM, YKY (Yan King Yin, 甄景贤) < [email protected]> wrote: > Hi all, > > I remember some discussions about starting an AI / AGI university course > by Pei Wang.
