Chris' Proposal for Building an AI

I actually have a proposal how to do this, without Microsoft, though they are welcome to help.
I'm giving a paper on it in Washington DC this weekend.
I've got a project that is working toward this goal.
It will be a long process, so use a cycle and build systems.
It's a big problem so get lots of people involved (including Microsoft if they'd like, and so can you)
My proposal is:
1. Follow the human model:
  1. Use human-like components that we know about (and can learn more about). Neurons.
  2. Make them do things the way people do (cognitive models).
  3. Put the system (s) in an environment.
2. Keep in touch with reality by checking the above issues and building systems that do cool things.
3. Integrate Learning
4. Take advantage of emergent algorithms (that's the tricky bit about distributed computing).
5. Repeat
