Watson, Tell Me a Story

Watson, developed by IBM, is a question-answering computer system capable of answering questions posed in natural language. Watson rose to national prominence in 2011 by competing on the television game show Jeopardy! Watson prevailed over the human competitors and received the first place prize of 1 million. Now, IBM is focusing its artificial intelligence prowess on the billion dollar advertising industry. Through its recent acquisition of the Weather Co. media properties, IBM is planning to roll out digital ads that people can communicate with this fall.
