IBM carries artificial intelligence to the masses

IBM opens public access to the artificial intelligence of the Watson supercomputer. Starting in 2014, software developers will be able to create "smart" online services and applications, the Financial Times newspaper reported. Two months earlier, scientists first opened access to a quantum computer.

Watson first appeared in public two years ago as one of the participants in the television game-quiz Jeopardy. The task of a supercomputer is to show that machines can understand natural speech and interact with people at a higher level.

Processing natural speech is considered one of the most difficult tasks for computers. Since then, Watson is often used in medical experiments.

According to IBM, third-party developers will be able to use Watson's intellectual resources to increase the intelligence of their own applications.

Following the “Intel Inside”, the expression “Powered by Watson” will appear, which will be applied to applications using cognitive computing.

We are opening a new era of analytical and cognitive computing. In this regard, Watson is ahead of the whole world, ”said Mark Gorenberg, manager of the venture group Hummer Winblad.

Watson is IBM's greatest asset. This is a historic moment for us, ”said Stephen Gold, vice president of IBM, proudly.

Answers to the asked questions Watson searches, processing huge data files. A supercomputer can do a good job for companies that, by the nature of their business, accumulate large amounts of information but are not able to extract profits from this, said IDC analyst Darren Bibby.

Technology is developing at a frantic pace. Not only computers are surprised by their capabilities, but also incredible touch interfaces.
