"Sesame Street" IBM Watson Personalized Learning

You may remember how, back in 2011, IBM's supercomputer Watson competed against the world's best "Jeopardy" champions and won. Fast-forward a few years and cognitive computing and machine learning have become the latest tech buzzwords that promise to revolutionize industries such as healthcare by providing real-time, actionable insights and much more. Entire markets, including banking and finance, law, and auditing and accounting, to name a few, are also facing disruption as well as opportunities with ongoing advancements in cognitive technology. The power of IBM Watson is finally being realized now that it can understand, reason and learn from the wealth of big data that most businesses are struggling to make sense of. Early childhood education appears to be next on the agenda.
