- OpenCog is a project that aims to build an open source artificial intelligence framework. OpenCog Prime^[1] is a cognitive architecture for robot and virtual embodied cognition that defines a set of interacting components designed to give rise to human-equivalent artificial general intelligence (AGI) as an emergent phenomenon of the whole system. OpenCog Prime's design is primarily the work of Ben Goertzel while the OpenCog framework is intended as a generic framework for broad-based AGI research. Research utilizing OpenCog has been published in journals and presented at conferences and workshops including the annual Conference on Artificial General Intelligence. OpenCog is released under the terms of the Affero General Public License (AGPL).

- Here at OpenCog, we're creating an open source Artificial General Intelligence framework, intended to one day express general intelligence at the human level and beyond.
  That is: We're undertaking a serious effort aimed at building a thinking machine.
  We have a detailed plan and the ability to execute it, and we're proceeding with the hard work step-by-step.
