AI Cognition Evolution

Slashdot Media Network

As we increasingly experience the “Internet of Everything”, processing power is increasing in everything from watches to smartphones to computers, vehicles and devices we haven’t yet imagined. At the same time, the amount of data being collected into knowledge bases has given rise to artificial intelligence systems such as IBM’s Watson, which stunned the world by besting two unbeaten Jeopardy champions on national television. What if every business could harness that kind of intelligence, which increasingly appears like real cognition? Now they can, without the need to invest millions in hardware and millions more in software. Thanks to the integration of Watson services and IBM Bluemix, every business can affordably access Watson’s AI to create applications that streamline business processes and slash the effort and cost to deliver the smartest of smart applications.
