Aberdeen Consulting Labors to Pump up the Watson Balloon
March 7, 2015
I read “IBM Watson and Answering the Questions of the World with Cognitive Computing.” Darned amazing mid tier consulting firm dream spinning it is. Here’s the paragraph I noted, which is a quote from an IBM Watson guru named Rob High, the chief technical officer for Watson:
…We’re going to see this cognitive computing capability be brought down deeper into things that we do on a daily basis. I think we’re going to find this to be the dominant form of computing in the future, especially given that to personalize all of those things is not something you can conceivably do if you had to program all the logic around that for each individual person. These systems are only going to be able to achieve that kind of personalized value if they’re able to learn, learn about you, learn about your way of interpreting the world and the way that you envision the world and the priorities that are important to you, that perhaps you find useful in how you conduct your life. That’s why I think that’s the role that cognitive computing is going to have for us, is to provide that degree of personalization.”
I can hear personalized trumpet fanfares…almost, maybe. I think I hear the heavy breathing of the number one trumpeter.
Now where’s the real sound, the sound of cash registers ringing as companies spend for Watson’s wizardry?
