RE: IBM Watson - Will it become the HAL 9000?

in #technology7 years ago

I heard about computer vision for the first time today, the ability for a computer to see what's around him/her (it?). Don't know if this is considered to be AI as well, maybe AI+ haha. Sorry slightly off topic but reading this post made me think of this. Off to do some research, the whole AI space is very interesting. I have actually seen a business in the higher education industry assess IBM Watson for their business so it's definitely starting to get traction.

Hi @transptrader, followed you as I like your comments. How are you finding the platform as a newbie? I used to work for a large IT Corporate and evaluated the IBM Watson product as a partner to resell the product to business. It is truly an amazing platform :)

Hi @jacor, thanks for that! That's great to hear. I love the platform, it's so easy to use and the variety of topics discussed and the interaction (probably because of the engagement model) is cool. Yeh I wasn't directly involved in IBM Watson unfortunately so I'm not fully across all its specs but the brief overview I got and from what I read in this blog post it sounds very exciting, but also slightly worrying. Is anyone else feeling like we are actually "entering the future" (if you know what I mean...)?
