The Future is Near


IBM has developed an artificially intelligent computer system called Watson. Watson is a cognitive system that learns and develops constantly. Watson also understands English, so when asked questions he can respond directly. Using analytics the amount of questions Watson can answer is unfathomable. He appeared as a contestant on Jeopardy! and blew away the competition. Not only is Watson able to answer questions he can analyze certain situations. In the medical field Watson can help assist health care professionals when dealing with patients. Watson checks not only all the available journal articles but also the patients’ history. This allows people in health care to have a whole new grasp on the industry. Watson is a complex problem solver here to help propel us into the future.
