Another article about Doug Lenant and Cycorp. We've featured several in the past 18 months. From the article, "Although some critics question the potential of this painstaking effort, the inventors believe Cyc will form the brains of computers with supercharged reasoning abilities - which could help us work more efficiently, make us understand each other better, and even help us predict the previously unforeseeable. Cyc (pronounced "psych") has already helped Lycos Inc. generate more relevant results on its Internet search engine. The military, which has invested $25 million in Cyc, is testing it as an intelligence tool in the war against terrorism. Companies use Cyc to unify disparate databases, and they are examining a new application that warns when computer networks have vulnerabilities that hackers can exploit."
