In that sense, is a Wikipedia article "grounded", if it doesn't contain a photo? Can it be useful for us?
I mean, "symbol grounding" is indeed an important issue, but it doesn't show up everywhere. A Cyc-like KB can be useful, if it use a proper formal language, which allows its concepts to be related to each other, as well as to other items outside the KB, such as sensorimotor mechanism. It would be nice to have a public KB in which the concepts are already linked to images and operations, but since sensorimotor tends to be highly system-dependent, I cannot expect that in the near future. On the other hand, a commonly accepted formal language is much more plausible to get, even though it doesn't provide all necessary knowledge for an AGI. What is in your mind as a "grounded KB"?
