IBM's Big Shift to Cognitive Computing

Here to help...

IBM's cognitive computing business — which includes artificial intelligence, machine learning, algorithms and analytics — accounted for 35% of the company's $81 billion in revenue last year, Tracy Lien reports on latimes.com.

It's the fastest-growing segment at IBM, Lien writes.

But just like IBM saved companies from having to build their own computers and servers, it's now hoping it can turn a profit saving companies, scientists and researchers from building their own cognitive solutions. Need help with data crunching? Genomic sequencing? Personality matching? There's a Watson -- IBM's cutting edge system -- for that, Lien reports.
