People understandably have a lot of questions about how exactly artificial intelligence works. How could a machine understand nuance and context like a human brain can? Is creating Artificial Intelligence (AI) that sophisticated really possible?

Your answers lie with AI systems like Watson: IBM’s boundary-pushing technology, a collaborative effort designed to amplify human intelligence. Watson is on the cutting edge of cognitive computing, which means it thinks and learns

So how, exactly, does it do that?

Understanding how we reason

Before you can teach a machine to process information like a human brain, you need to understand how a human brain thinks. People go through four steps before making a decision. They can happen almost instantly, but we do it every time. Read more…
