IBM and Unity are launching the IBM Watson Unity SDK on the Unity Asset Store, enabling developers to easily integrate Watson cloud services into their Unity applications such as visual recognition, speech to text, and language classification. The SDK makes it easy for developers to take advantage of modern AI techniques through a set of cloud-based services. Today we are thrilled to announce a partnership with IBM to launch the IBM Watson Unity SDK on the Unity Asset Store. This SDK is the first asset of its kind to bring scalable AI services to Unity, enabling developers to easily integrate Watson services into their Unity applications. Millions of Unity developers globally will now have access to the powerful cloud-based AI services of Watson directly within the Unity environment.

Some say that artificial intelligence (AI) will radically change healthcare in the future. But that prediction overlooks an important detail: AI is already significantly changing healthcare. IBM (NYSE:IBM) Watson Health general manager Deborah DiSanzo spoke at the annual J. P. Morgan Healthcare Conference on Wednesday. She provided an update on the progress that IBM Watson, the AI system famous for beating Jeopardy! DiSanzo highlighted four areas where AI is making a big difference today.

This weekend's 60th Annual Grammy Awards will feature big names like Beyoncé, Rihanna, and Watson. The latter is IBM's famous artificial intelligence platform, which the Grammys are enlisting to curate the videos and photos being released to music fans following along with this year's awards show on social media in real time. IBM is partnering with Grammys organizer the Recording Academy to provide Watson's AI services to populate the event's social media feeds with automatically-generated content during the Grammy Awards ceremony, which airs this Sunday, Jan. 28, on CBS. IBM's Watson will get to work before the ceremony even starts, analyzing and sorting "hours of video and close to 125,000 photographs" taken during the Grammys' hours-long red carpet show ahead of Sunday's event, IBM said in its announcement. The platform will use features such as facial recognition, even analyzing stars' "facial emotion," to pick out the best images and videos to post for fans online.

Traditional analysis methods rely on structured data to provide intelligence - Watson is a breakthrough computing system, reading and analysing unstructured natural human language, to provide answers to complex questions. IBM developed the Watson AI supercomputer to intelligently simplify the rising flood of data and transform how computers and devices help people accomplish tasks in business, communities and their personal lives. Watson first made headlines in 2001 when it won the US quiz show Jeopardy! This was the first time that AI really came into the public consciousness when Watson beat humans in a head-to-head competition on the TV quiz show!

Cancer is responsible for one in six deaths around the world, and each year there are more than 14 million new cancer cases worldwide, according to the World Health Organization. As healthcare providers seek to enable data-driven, evidence-based cancer care, an explosion of medical information has created both challenges and opportunities to help improve quality of care. Some 50,000 oncology research papers are published each year, according to PubMed, and by 2020 medical information is projected to double every 73 days – outpacing the ability of human beings to keep up with the proliferation of medical knowledge. In this environment, Swedish oncology IT vendor Elekta is collaborating with artificial intelligence kingpin IBM Watson Health to offer Watson for Oncology as part of Elekta's cancer care systems. Elekta will market Watson for Oncology as an AI-based clinical decision support system paired within Elekta's digital cancer care systems, including its MOSAIQ Oncology Information System.

Radiation oncology vendor Elekta has formed a new partnership with IBM Watson Health to offer the Watson for Oncology artificial intelligence (AI) platform along with its offerings for cancer care. Developed by IBM in collaboration with Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center in New York City, Watson for Oncology is designed to summarize a patient's key medical attributes and provide information to oncologists to help them deliver treatment options based on training from the Memorial Sloan Kettering oncologists, according to Elekta. The software also ranks treatment options, linking to peer-reviewed studies that have been curated by Memorial Sloan Kettering. In addition, Watson for Oncology provides a large corpus of medical literature -- more than 300 medical journals, over 200 textbooks, and nearly 15 million of pages of text -- to offer insight into different treatment options, Elekta said. Beginning in early 2018, Elekta will sell Watson for Oncology as a clinical decision-support application paired within its cancer-care software, including the Mosaiq oncology information system.

When I heard the 60th annual Grammy Awards show was going to feature artificial intelligence, I immediately thought "this is a marketing ploy." But then I found out IBM's Watson was the AI in question. Watson, you see, doesn't have a problem rolling up its non-existent sleeves and doing some good old fashioned hard work. Don't expect a silly robot rolling around doing a human impersonation on the red carpet, IBM's machines show up to solve problems and optimize workflows. And while that isn't very sexy – hard work seldom is – it's incredibly important.

It's award season folks, which means that anyone who loves the addictive mix of celebrities, fashion, and the red carpet will be looking forward to getting their daily fix. Who cares who won the award, most of us just need to know who rocked it best in the Oscar de la Renta or Calvin Klein dress and this is where IBM's Watson could step in. Partnering up with Recording Academy, IBM is bringing artificial intelligence to the red carpet. Taking up the role of fashion police, Watson will be showcasing an innate ability to judge the red carpet outfits using an artificial intelligence platform. This will take place at the Grammys on Sunday night, 28th January 2018.

After winning Jeopardy and designing cancer-treatment plans, IBM Watson is now strutting off to the red carpet of the 60th Annual Grammy Awards. The tech giant's versatile AI system will be curating and distributing award-show content and images of everyone's favorite music stars in real time, straight from the red carpet to people's social media feeds. IBM and the Recording Academy announced their partnership to use the Watson Media Suite at the Grammys today. Want to quickly see who has the coolest looks on the red carpet?
