Expand the World’s Brain Power with P2P

Friday, September 14, 2007 12:17 EDT -04:00   News  


In order to simulate anything even approaching believable Artificial Intelligence (AI), millions or even billions nodes are required to simulate brain-like neural networks. One way to do this is to buy just a few very powerful, very expensive, and very rate multi-processor super computers. Another is to join lots and lots of less powerful, less expensive and less rare home computers like the one you’re sitting at now.

How to connect them these computers to form the neural network? Well the P2P filesharing network that you may (or may not) use to download your favourite things.

P2P-weblog reports that the Artificial Intelligence System (AIS) splits up complex tasks (often requiring a super computer) into many smaller, more manageable, tasks. These tasks can be processed during periods when the PC is inactive. Once the tasks have been completed they will be transferred back to the AIS project.

Ovidiu Anghelidi, the project’s leader, tells us:

We ask the public at large to volunteer for this task and donate computer time, which will allow us to build a large scale AI System. Our research findings will allow us to move to the development phase and start building a system that will scale beyond the human brain capacity.

The project’s ultimate goal, he says, is to have a system that integrates knowledge from a number of distinct disciples. This ‘knowledgeable’ AI will provide benefits to society and will, he hopes, accelerate scientific discovery across all fields.
