Watson helped make a trailer for a horror movie about AI

IBM Watson can add yet another skill to its resume: the ability to make movie trailers. Morgan is, after all, a sci-fi flick about a group of scientists who created a humanoid machine that rapidly gained capabilities and went out of control. To train the computer for the task, IBM Research scientists fed it 100 horror movie trailers cut into separate "moments" or scenes. Watson then performed visual, audio and composition analysis on each scene to develop an idea of what people find scary. After that was done, the team fed it all 90 minutes of Morgan to find the right moments to include in the trailer.
