IBM Watson: Pioneering a New Era of Computing
Watson is the first open cognitive computing technology platform and represents
a new era in computing where systems understand the world in the way that humans
do: through senses, learning, and experience. Watson continuously learns,
gaining in value and knowledge over time, from previous interactions. With the
help of Watson, organizations are harnessing the power of cognitive computing to
transform industries, help professionals do their jobs better, and solve
important challenges.
To advance Watson, IBM has two dedicated business units: Watson, established for
the development of cloud-delivered cognitive computing technologies that
represent the commercialization of "artificial intelligence" or "AI" across a
variety of industries, and Watson Health, dedicated to improving the ability of
doctors, researchers and insurers and other related health organizations to
surface new insights from data to and deliver personalized healthcare
