IBM Envisions Watson as a Super-Siri for Businesses
International Business Machines Corp. (IBM) researchers spent four years
developing Watson, the computer smart enough to beat the champions of the quiz
show “Jeopardy!” Now they’re trying to figure out how to get those capabilities
into the phone in your pocket.
Bernie Meyerson, IBM’s vice president of innovation, envisions a
voice-activated Watson that answers questions, like a supercharged version of
Apple Inc. (AAPL)’s Siri personal assistant. A farmer could stand in a field
and ask his phone, “When should I plant my corn?” He would get a reply in
seconds, based on location data, historical trends and scientific studies.
