The Singularity Institute for Artificial Intelligence (SIAI) is a non-profit organization founded in 2000 to develop safe artificial intelligence software, and to raise awareness of both the dangers and potential benefits of artificial general intelligence technologies. The SIAI sponsors numerous research projects, both theoretical and applied, and has recently begun to structure applied research under the umbrella of OpenCog, the Open Cognition Project. OpenCog is software for the collaborative development of safe and beneficial Artificial General Intelligence, and aims to provide research scientists and software developers with a common platform to build and share artificial intelligence programs.
