Once you have a truly massive amount of information integrated as know — Douglas Lenat

"The time may come when a greatly expanded Cyc will underlie countless software applications. But reaching that goal could easily take another two decades."

"If computers were human, they’d present themselves as autistic, schizophrenic, or otherwise brittle. It would be unwise or dangerous for that person to take care of children and cook meals, but it’s on the horizon for home robots. That’s like saying, ‘We have an important job to do, but we’re going to hire dogs and cats to do it."

"Intelligence is ten million rules. This refers to the prior and tacit knowledge that authors presume their readers all possess (such as "if person x knows person y, then xs date of death cant be earlier than ys date of birth") not counting the vastly larger number of "facts" such as one might find in Wikipedia or by Googling."

"Sometimes the veneer of intelligence is not enough."
