Public distributed artificial intelligence

|
In artificial intelligence, public distributed artificial intelligence seeks to use large numbers of members of the public to help create artificially intelligent applications and was pioneered by Chris McKinstry with the launch in May of 1996 of the MISTIC (Minimum Intelligent Signal Test Item Corpus) project. It was an attempt to collect large numbers of propositions of human consensus fact. The project was superseded in July of 2000 by the Mindpixel project which seeks to not only collect propositions but also validate them against the population of World Wide Web users that created them yielding large numbers of Probabilistic propositions.
