CYC

CYC is an ambitious artificial intelligence project aimed at capturing and representing human common sense knowledge. It consists of a vast database of facts, rules, and relationships that help computers understand the world as humans do. By encoding knowledge about everyday concepts and experiences, CYC enables machines to reason, make inferences, and answer questions more intelligently. The goal is to create a system that can understand and process information in a way that mimics human thought, ultimately improving the interaction between people and machines, as well as enhancing AI applications across various domains.
