10 ways you may have already used IBM Watson

Watson captured the public imagination about artificial intelligence after defeating two world champions of Jeopardy in 2011 and bringing home a $1 million prize. Since then, Watson has gained new cognitive capabilities through APIs like Alchemy (for sentiment analysis), Tone Analyzer (for personality and emotional analysis), and Conversation (a chatbot builder) and has been embedded in hundreds of applications across financial services, healthcare, retail, and digital. "Chances are, you've interacted with Watson without realizing it," says Alyssa Simpson, Program Director at IBM Watson. "Many companies hide their use of the technology for competitive reasons. They don't want a competitor to buy it too."
