Cognitive for the greater good at the Watson Developer Conference

Three years ago, I decided to learn how to code. A large part of the reason why I decided to embark on a career in tech was to empower myself with the ability to create an application, thereby providing value to society. I was reminded once again why I chose to go down this route during IBM Chairman, President and CEO Ginni Rometty's opening presentation at the Watson Developer Conference in San Francisco this November. Rometty invited Joshua Browder, a 19 year-old student at Stanford and co-founder of DoNotPay, and Ashok Goel, professor of computer science at Georgia Institute of Technology, on stage with her. Browder was there to talk about the DoNotPay application he created.
