The Computer That Could Be Smarter Than Us [IBM Watson]

This is the direction of the future. Useful AI that can do the research of a thoudand men instantly. It s definitely worth noting that Watson is capable of learning (a point I didn t touch on in this video), so what you see here is the "baby phase" so to speak. I tried to leave out the technical jargon in this video but for those who want to know more, a wiki dump on Watson is below: According to John Rennie, Watson can process 500 gigabytes, the equivalent of a million books, per second. Software Watson uses IBM s DeepQA software and the Apache UIMA (Unstructured Information Management Architecture) framework. Hardware The system is workload optimized, integrating massively parallel POWER7 processors and being built on IBM s DeepQA technology, which it uses to generate hypotheses, gather massive evidence, and analyze data. Watson is composed of a cluster of ninety IBM Power 750 servers, each of which uses a 3.5 GHz POWER7 eight core processor, with four threads per core. In total, the system has 2,880 POWER7 processor cores and has 16 terabytes of RAM.
