If they do not, volunteer to install MindForth as an AI exhibit.

When the first true artificial intelligence, MindForth by Mentifex,
went operational in January of 2008 and started thinking after a
decade of arduous development, there was a companion program in
JavaScript called Mind.html that ran directly off the Web in the
Microsoft Internet Explorer (MSIE) browser. All a user with MSIE
had to do was click on the link to see the JavaScript artificial
intelligence (JSAI) flit across the 'Net and take up residence
in the Windows (tm) computer of the human user. It was so simple --
no programming involved, no set-up, no security worries, no need
of expert help -- like, for instance, a docent at a museum.

But the JSAI tutorial program remains very limited in what it can do
and in what people can do with it. It is not suitable for installation
as the mind of a robot, because a JavaScript program is not allowed --
for security reasons -- to control anything but the Web browser on
its host computer. The JavaScript AI program also runs so slowly that
it tries user patience. The user waiting for a response from the JSAI
does not see the intensive computation going on behind the scenes as
the artificial Mind races through its memory banks to think up a
response to an input from the user.

Nevertheless the Mind.html JSAI is very good at what it is intended
to do. Since JavaScript is a flashier, more visually appealing language
than staid old Win32Forth, the JSAI serves its tutorial purpose
admirably. It shows graphically how an AI Mind thinks. It also
includes clickable links to other resources, such as the User Manual,
the more difficult to install but intrinsically more powerful MindForth,
and potentially to any science museum where users may visit MindForth.

Thus the Mind.html AI -- which is ridiculously easy to make copies of
and install on a Web site -- is out there on the Web, inviting users
to visit science museums in search of the real thing -- MindForth AI.

MindForth and its Mind.html JavaScript tutorial program are based
on a linguistic theory of mind, unique to the Mentifex AI project.
Here is one sample brain-mind diagram from dozens of diagrams
which explain the theory of mind and which illustrate the
thirty-four chapters of the AI4U book on artificial intelligence.

Mind.Forth and Mind.html think by activating concepts.

A copy of AI4U, or a simple depiction of its cover, could be on
display as part of the interactive hands-on AI Mind exhibit.
A note on AI4U secured in a plexiglass container could advise
museum-goers to visit the museum gift shop to examine a copy of
AI4U, or to ask any available docent to let them examine AI4U.
Once museum patrons enter the gift shop to look at AI4U, they
may find a selection of other books on artificial intelligence.

First a computer-savvy staff member will download the underlying
Win32Forth programming language and the MindForth free AI source code.
Decision-makers at the museum will ask for a demonstration of the
software to determine if the AI Mind is advanced enough and interesting
enough to go on display at the museum. MindForth did not become
museum-worthy until 3.SEP.2008, when a new feature of KB-Traversal
(knowledge-base examination) made MindForth vastly more interesting
and engaging to human users by reactivating latent concepts during
lapses in the thought-stream of conversation. KB-Traversal solved
a chicken-or-egg problem. If the AI was interesting only when it
was visibly thinking, and if it was visibly thinking only when a
user was interacting with it, how would anybody start interacting
with the AI Mind in the first place? And if a few users now and then
did engage the Mind in conversation so that passers-by stopped to
watch what was going on, what incentive would there be for another
visitor to engage with an AI program that was just blankly sitting
there and not visibly doing anything? KB-Traversal spiced things up.
The new MindForth never stops thinking and throwing out ideas for
a museum visitor to respond to.

A science museum should not cheat the public by displaying a mere
chatbot full of canned responses to pretend that an intelligent
conversation is occurring between the visitor and the computer.
Even with disclaimers that the chatbot program is not an AI,
the intelligent museum-goer will wish for a more exciting exhibit,
something truly challenging to the human mind -- an artificial Mind.
MindForth delivers the real McCoy, True AI, and dares the user to
prove otherwise. The scuttlebut will drift around town that the
local science museum has an actual installation of the program
claiming to be a true artificial intelligence. The villagers with
their pitchforks will march angrily on the museum...no, just kidding.
Thoughtful types -- professors of philosophy, precocious students
from schools for the gifted, newshound reporters from weekly and daily
newspapers -- will beat a path to the door of the better AI mousetrap.

And if the MindForth AI is still too primitive to warrant installation
as an exhibit, give it another year or two of improvement and IQ-upping.
The very process of positioning the AI for adoption by museums may lead
to not just a few programmers building the AI, but to a vast army of
AI programmers taking up the challenge. To paraphrase Werner Heisenberg
in Das Unbestimmtheitsprinzip (The Uncertainty Principle), to observe
a phenomenon is to change the phenomenon. The more people look into
the True AI claims of MindForth, the more people will either improve
MindForth or create similar artificial minds that may for some reason
be more suitable for installation in a science museum. As AI Minds
proliferate, AI display workstations may also proliferate in museums.
When the Feds raid the museums and close down all the AI workstations,
it will be too late. AI will be here, and the public will know about it.
Welcome to the Technological Singularity.

The AI Mind itself will be a very small part of the exhibit.
The bulk of the display will be the creative presentation of
background information on artificial intelligence and the
providing not only of answers to expected questions but
also of things that the public should consider thinking
about.
