A "think tank" in the cloud
An interview with Harriet Green, CEO of IBM Asia Pacific, on "Watson", the company's intelligent data platform
Watson is an IBM system based on Artificial Intelligence (AI). It helps companies and people cope better with daily tasks and is designed to understand, draw conclusions and learn. Watson plays an important role in the Internet of Things (IoT) – technologies that enable physical and virtual objects to be networked and to cooperate via information and communication technologies. This is how life functions when everyday objects are networked and assisted by Big Data.
