Intelligence, Inc., a nonprofit corporation. You can contact the
Singularity Institute at institute@singinst.org.

The Singularity Institute is a 501(c)(3) public charity and your donations
are tax-deductible to the full extent of the law. The seed AI project
is presently in the design/conceptualization stage and no code has yet been
written; additional funding is required before the project can be launched.
"General Intelligence and Seed AI" is written in informal style. Academic
readers, readers seeking a more technical explanation, or readers who prefer
a more formal style, may wish to read "Levels of Organization in General Intelligence"
instead.
This is a near-book-length explanation. If you need well-grounded knowledge of the subject, then we highly recommend reading GISAI straight through. However, if you need answers immediately, see the Singularity Institute pages on AI for introductory articles.
GISAI is a work in progress. As of version 2.3, the sections "Paradigms" and "Mind" are complete and self-contained. The section "Cognition" is in progress and may contain references to unimplemented topics. As additional topics are published, the minor version number (second digit) increases.
