Doug Lenat and Cyc
Doug Lenat began Cyc in 1984 to build a large base of common-sense knowledge and reasoning rules. The project addressed knowledge that people often leave unstated.
What happened next
Cyc continued as a long-term knowledge-engineering project. Its approach differs from learning a language model from text. The 1992 documentary includes Lenat alongside Minsky, Feigenbaum and other AI researchers.
