Mindpixel Digital Mind Modeling Project:
The Mindpixel Corpus will soon be the world's largest database of
consensus human knowledge, built by tens of thousands of people just
like you from all over Earth, speaking many languages.

Open Mind Initiative:
World-wide collaborative effort to develop smart software. Collects
information from non-expert Internet users, to teach computers the
myriad things we all know and which underlie general intelligence
but which we usually take for granted. Several subprojects.

InterSAINT:
International Sensible Artificial Intelligence Network of Thoughts:
project to develop a global brain based mainly on neural networks
and distributed computing on the Internet. Many interesting, useful
links. English and Espaأ±ol.

Open Mind Commonsense:
Open Mind Initiative subproject to teach computers common sense
reasoning. Hosted at MIT Media Lab, under the guidance of Marvin
Minsky.

Time Europe: Techwatch: Site Seeing:
Computers still can't think for themselves. To do that they'd need
the cyber equivalent of common sense: the millions of pieces of
ordinary knowledge that humans take for granted. Very brief story on
Mindpixel and Open Mind.

Discover Magazine: R&D: Common Sense on a Chip:
In the US alone, likely 10 trillion mouse clicks have been wasted on
computer solitaire. David G. Stork, Chief Scientist, Ricoh Silicon
Valley, California, is launching the Open Mind Initiative to inspire
computer users to contribute to a higher calling: developing a
computer that can reason.
