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.
