 Hi All,
 

AGIRI (the Artificial General Intelligence Research Institute) is
pleased to launch a new drive to raise $80,000 dedicated to pure AGI
research with a specific goal: to complete the next major milestone of
Novamente development by the end of 2005.
 

Milestone M10, shown in the Novamente Development Roadmap, is the
deployment of a Novamente system specialized to control an embodied
agent, interacting  linguistically and "physically" with other agents
and objects in a simulated world. For more information on the project,
see the AGI-SIM Development Plan. AGIRI is also seeking capable
programmers, for both volunteer and paid positions. We believe that
upon completion of the AGI-SIM project, AGIRI will be well-poised to
raise the larger-dollar research funding needed to move Novamente
quickly toward its longer-term AGI goals. The AGI-SIM application of
Novamente may also open up new commercial possibilities, for instance
in the area of partnerships with firms developing mobile robotics
technology.
 
 For more information about Novamente, see the new concise but deep
single-page description located at the AGIRI home page, and the
eight-page technical paper at Novamente: An Integrative Architecture
for General Intelligence. A new series of books that will describe
Novamente's conceptual and technical under-pinnings in great detail is
due for publication in 2005.

 Best Regards, 
 
 from all of us at AGIRI
