How It Works: IBM Watson Health

#artificialintelligence

IBM and its partners are building solutions that will allow individual patients and larger health populations to benefit as providers share and apply insights in real-time. In this video, learn how the IBM Watson Health Cloud can help an avid runner with a heart condition continue to live an active life. This scenario describes the future of health and where things are going, not necessarily what you'd get when you walk into a doctor's office today.

IBM supercomputer helped design a dress it can never wear

Engadget

These days, it's hard to get that excited by smart clothing that are developed to show off the marriage of fashion and technology. After all, it's not as if we don't see these garments popping up at every trade show and event worth mentioning. Between Nicole Sherzinger's Twitter dress through to Intel's various attempts to marry its chips to the catwalk, it feels as if much of this has already been done. Moreover, it's not as if this sort of product is ever going to be available for people to buy. It doesn't help, either, that Watson didn't even design the dress itself, but Marchesa's team that acted upon its suggestions.




Elmo has made a new friend: IBM's Watson

Washington Post - Technology News

The next chapter of early childhood education may be coming courtesy of Sesame Workshop and the letters I-B-M. Sesame Workshop, which has made the beloved children's education show "Sesame Street" for decades, and IBM's Watson -- of "Jeopardy!" The firms will work together for three years to develop products for the classroom and the home, which combine the artificial intelligence prowess of Watson with Sesame Workshop's deep knowledge of how to teach to the preschool set. The hope is that Watson, which can learn and adapt based on its user, will be able to adjust its teaching based on a child's skill level and learning style. Sesame Workshop has worked for years to provide a mix of learning styles in its flagship show, but is looking to do more.


IBM Watson to build tech with Sesame Street

#artificialintelligence

IBM (IBM, Tech30) Watson is teaming up with Sesame Workshop to develop a new suite of preschool products that could range from consumer apps and toys, to educational tools for schools. Sesame Workshop is the nonprofit that creates "Sesame Street." The company says it entered into this partnership because it wants to provide personalized learning to as many kids around the world as possible. "There's not necessarily anything wrong with preschool education today," Harriet Green, IBM's GM for Watson IoT, Commerce and Education told CNNMoney. But not enough kids have access to the right level of education at the right time in their lives.


9 ways IBM Watson is changing your world for the better

#artificialintelligence

Everyone wants to stay fit and healthy, and AI can help you to do that even better. While IBM Watson supports personalised apps like the Nutrino pregnancy tracker, it can also help doctors in hospitals draw more accurate conclusions. "Doctors have tens of thousands of brain scans from screening people for cancer," explains Auer-Welsbach. "If IBM Watson went through these it could perhaps recognise signs that no one has been able to know before โ€“ whether the brain looks slightly different in people who go on to develop Alzheimer's, for example."

Building an IBM Watson powered AI Chatbot -- Chatbots Magazine

#artificialintelligence

Everyone is talking about chatbots these days. Telegram has them, Facebook got them recently, Slack has them and many more want them (for a good reason). It was time to figure out what these chatbots are and how they can help and make life easier. We are at a point where artificial intelligence is a big thing again. Recent movies like "Ex Machina" and "Her" pictured super smart and dangerous AI-driven bots that could easily become a threat to humanity.


IBM Watson can customize your canned granola

Engadget

Don't worry: IBM's Watson didn't whip up a bunch of needlessly complicated granola recipes for a cookbook that you must make (for science!). No, we're talking about its partnership with Kellogg's subsidiary Bear Naked, which is the first consumer brand to sell Chef Watson-inspired food. The partnership made it possible for Bear Naked to launch a website where granola enthusiasts can make custom blends. After you select a base -- cacao cashew butter, chocolate or honey -- Watson looks through thousands of possible flavors to find ingredients it can suggest. It's a very simple process, and we wish Watson can customize each can of granola even further.


IBM Watson's GM David Kenny wants Watson to ask us questions

#artificialintelligence

He had just flown into Augusta, Georgia for the Masters. Bad weather caused a pileup of arrivals. The airport ran out of open gates. His flight was stuck on the tarmac. If air traffic controllers had access to Watson, they might have been able to forecast the flight congestion.
