Open Mind Common Sense

Open Mind Common Sense is a project that collects everyday knowledge about how the world works from many people, then uses that information to help computers understand human life better. By gathering common knowledge—like “fire is hot” or “water makes things wet”—it helps artificial intelligence systems reason, answer questions, and make decisions more like humans do. This collaborative approach makes AI more intuitive and useful, bridging the gap between raw data and real-world understanding. Essentially, it’s about teaching computers the kind of basic, sensible knowledge that most people naturally know.
