Douglas Lenat died two years ago in
August 31, 2023. I don’t know whether
CYC and Cycorp will make a dent in
the future. CYC adressed the common

knowledge bottleneck, and so do LLM. I
am using CYC mainly as a historical reference.
The “common knowledge bottleneck” in AI is
a challenge that plagued early AI systems.
This bottleneck stems from the difficulty

of encoding vast amounts of everyday,
implicit human knowledge things we take for
granted but computers historically struggled
to understand. Currently LLM by design focus
more on shallow

knowledge, whereas systems such as CYC might
exhibit more deep knowlege in certain domains,
making them possibly more suitable when the
stakeholders expect more reliable
analytic capabilities.

The problem is not explainability,
the problem is intelligence.
