Machine of Human Dreams

AI expert Ben Goertzel spent his childhood in a hippie commune in Oregon amidst the Vietnam War era. Influenced by science fiction, he envisioned an ideal, logical world that would surpass the America of the 1970s. Ben has devoted his career to creating OpenCog, a program that simulates human cognition. If successful, OpenCog could evolve into a human-equivalent general intelligence. However, for OpenCog to function effectively, it requires a physical form.
