Artificial Intelligence: Reviving the DMOZ Idea Using AI

I haven't been following suit the fate of DMOZ, the human-edited web catalogue. So I was a bit surprised that it closed down a few days ago. Not that I was much surprised. I always felt that there was something wrong with it. I recall the days when a DMOZ listing was still supposed to improve your Google Ranking. We had our student intern apply for a job as editor for the vacant and oddly maintained insurance pages in German language.
