Pandora is the AI developed by the Open Pandora Project. The project is still very much in its infancy, and its goal is to develop a AI that can interact and collaborate with others over the Internet (forums, wikis, chat, Facebook, SourceForge). Its ultimate goal is for the AI to be able to understand and develop code, and be capable of collaborating on open source projects (perhaps it will join its own project).
Currently the AI is capable of memory, consciousness, mimicry, and language understanding. A simple applet has been built to allow web based interaction with Pandora 0.3, but because of applet restrictions does not work with the 0.4 or 0.5 releases, so is much simpler than the current release. For the current release, you need to download it and run locally.
You will need the latest Sun JDK installed in your browser, and will most likely need to refresh the page once the applet loads the first time.
Pandora is designed to learn like a child, so if she does not understand something she will fall back on mimicry. When she mimics she is looking for you to response with a answer to your own question, and will then remember this response that next time the question is asked.
You can also browse Pandora's memory, and through context selection, you can associate words with objects. Similar to giving a child a ball and saying "ball".
The Pandora project is looking for developers, so feel free to join the project, just post a hello here, or in the SourceForge forum for commit access.
