It may be useful for someone (Eli?) to keep a (web-page) list of everyone
who *claims* to have a theory for, or be working on, Real AI: A design for
artificial general intelligence that, given funding, could match and exceed
human intelligence within, say, 10years.

Of the top of my head:

Ben
Eli
Minsky
Cog ?
Cyc
A-I
Hugo de Garis
???

What are their views on 'The Guidelines'? On Friendliness?

Who is working on 'real' AI? Of all the people working in the field called
'AI' ....
80% don't believe in the concept of General Intelligence (but instead, in a
large collection of specific skills & knowledge)
of those that do, 80% don't believe that (super) human-level intelligence is
possible - either ever, or for long, long time
of those that do, 80% work on domain specific AI projects for commercial or
academic-political reasons (results are a lot quicker)
of those left, 80% have a poor conceptual framework....
