Open Source Artificial Intelligence

Blazing the web for black-boxes to reverse-engineer, I came upon the following informative and down-to-earth article. I'm sharing it, as it hasn't found its way to the general public. The open-source AI trend represents the convergence of two trends: The open-source movement and the artificial intelligence revolution. The open-source movement is the trend toward making the source code for software available to developers and users so that anyone can modify it and, theoretically, improve it. Examples of open-source software include the Linux operating system, the Mozilla Firefox browser, and the Android mobile platform.
