It's an interesting point. Our plan with Webmind at the moment is to keep
ownership of the new Webmind system among myself and the other Webmind
Diehards, and have spinoff companies in particular domains (initially,
bioinformatics) that have exclusive licenses to use the technology in their
domains. So, I think and hope it's possible to develop real AI using
corporate financing without giving up ultimate control to anyone else.
We'll see how it works out.

Actually, what I said was 2000... much more realistic, huh?
