The Next Knowledge Medium

The term "artificial intelligence" expresses the most commonly understood goal of the field: to build intelligent, autonomous, thinking machines. Building thinking machines emphasizes ideas quite different from building a knowledge medium. It suggests the creation of machines that are intelligent and independent. In contrast, the goal of building a knowledge medium draws attention to the main source of knowledge in the world today: people.
