This Startup Is Making Artificial Intelligence A 'common Sense' Like Humans

However, one of the main obstacles to overcome is common sense, which this technology lacks. This is something that David Ferrucci, the leader of the team responsible for ibm watson computer and who serve as executive directors of today Elemental Cognition, a startup that seeks to address the shortcomings of AI.

Now, its main purpose is to become humanity's "thinking companion", capable of suggesting and explaining. The system in which E is conservedMental Cognition combines the latest advances in machine learning with software modeled after human reasoning. New programs can recognize patterns and make predictions, sifting through vast amounts of data at breakneck speed to generate the most likely interpretations.
