Six versions of ICub exist in laboratories across Europe, where scientists are painstakingly tweaking its electronic brain to make it capable of learning, just like a human child and hoping it will learn how to adapt its behaviour to changing circumstances, offering new insights into the development of human consciousness.

    Under the agreement, any IAC business will be able to use Brightcove to publish video content to their Web sites, manage the syndication of the video and integrate advertising with it.

    "By making this platform available across IAC we can continue to deepen engagement with our online audiences, expand the reach of our brands, and open powerful new revenue streams through online video advertising across our sites," IAC chief executive Barry Diller said in a statement.

    Ticketmaster, Citysearch and 23/6 are the first among the IAC businesses to use the service, the companies said. IAC is home to more than 60 Internet brands from search site Ask.com to dating service Match.com.

    IAC has held a minority stake in Brightcove since December 2006. The privately-held company's other backers include Hearst Corp and AllianceBernstein L.P.
