Mindpixel

Mindpixel is a World Wide Web-based collaborative artificial intelligence project which aims to create a database of millions of human validated true/false statements, or probabilistic propositions. Participants in the project create one-line statements which will be objectively true or false to 20 other anonymous participants. In order to submit their statement they must first check the true/false validity of 20 such statements submitted by others. Participants whose replies are consistently out of step with the majority have their status downgraded and are eventually excluded. Likewise, participants who make contributions which others cannot agree are objectively true or false have their status downgraded. A validated true/false statement is called a mindpixel.
