Thinking Big - AI at Web Scale

The true promise of the Web canpsilat be realised by the lone programmers and simple applications of Web 1.0; it canpsilat even be realised by the advanced interfaces and hordes of contributing users of Web 2.0 - it can be realised by individuals and groups of humans collaborating with individual and cloud connected computers. Thatpsilas Web 3.0. What will it take to make computers into effective collaborators? It will take heterogeneous, ubiquitous reasoning at massive scale - the aim of the EU funded LarKC project; It will take semantically rich shared representations - the aim of OpenCyc (and other, linked projects); it will take more sophisticated reasoning, including probabilistic and contextual reasoning, and it will take sophisticated, social, human-computer and computer-interfaces. In this talk, Ipsilall focus on Cycorp Europe and our effort in the LarKC project, and describe how we hope it will start to tie our work, and the work of others, together to produce a truly knowledgeable, collaborative, intelligent Web.
