Artificial Intelligence and Cognitive Computing

Instead of building smarter computers to bring miraculous solutions, most of these problems are better solved by smarter application of computing. For example, trying to predict the optimal time to trigger a specific stock purchase could be accomplished with a relatively simple model, but imagine a computer trying to determine which stock to purchase. The problem involves a dramatic increase in complexity because the increased number of variables to consider is so much higher. That kind of complexity requires new approaches, and the dynamic nature of the decisions that have to be made doesn't permit months of research to reach an acceptable level of accuracy.
