Watson went on to lay the foundation for a new wave of applications and research initiatives in AI. With Elemental Cognition, "he sees a future in which AI will become a powerful amplifier of human creativity– a system based not just on statistical methods but on learning a shared and rational understanding of how the world works. This AI will enable humans and machines to explore, collaborate and ask 'why' together." Dr. Ferrucci shares more about his vision here. |
