A competent AGI should be able to "absorb" Cyc's knowledge, and I will probably do so (unless it turns out to be very difficult). If the Cyc KB is in FOL purely, it should be relatively easy. > Why don't you find out if you can do anything interesting w/ Cyc's existing > **publicly available** DB, before setting about making your own.

I'm building a prototype AGI now, and will give it a very small test KB so it can parse some simple sentences and do some inferences. The next step would be to absorb Cyc's KB and then let online users expand it. Also, I will provide some learning algorithms to be used in conjunction with user inputs -- for example, users can give examples of reasoning in NL, and the AGI will learn the logical rules from those examples. This seems to me to be the right way towards AGI...
