Cognitive Computing Consortium Forms to Discuss Issues with Technology

Leading industry experts are launching a Cognitive Computing Consortium to focus on furthering innovation in cognitive computing. The consortium is an interactive forum for researchers, developers, and practitioners of cognitive computing and its allied technologies. The consortium was co-founded by Sue Feldman, CEO, Synthexis; and Hadley Reynolds, principal analyst at NextEra Research, to fill a gap in the industry. Its mission is to enable professionals to exchange ideas and insights to conduct research and to educate buyers, users and the public on cognitive computing technologies, their uses, and potential impacts. The group was inspired to form after vendors told various experts that they needed an unbiased source to which they can refer potential clients for validation, advice, and background information.
