This list is an overview of the institutional side of artificial intelligence, a catalog of the important people, organizations, events, publications, and projects in artificial intelligence research and application.

This is a work in progress. Currently it's just the entries from Wikipedia's "List of artificial intelligence projects" with some key data picked out. The reason I'm starting with the projects is that I want to the list to end up as a web, and the projects are convenient links between the organizations, people, and domain topics. The topics will be a lesser focus of the overall list, but they give the institutional items meaning.

Specialized projects

Brain-inspired

Blue Brain Project, an attempt to create a synthetic brain by reverse-engineering the mammalian brain down to the molecular level.
