(English) How Artificial Intelligence Is Redefining The Future Of Work

Ci spiace, ma questo articolo è disponibile soltanto in English.

In a world where the term “big data” is being thrown around like the next coming, many business leaders still struggle to understand how more information is going to help them make better decisions that drive their businesses forward.

But the real challenge goes well beyond merely accessing more data. The key is accessing data in the right way, at the right time, and in the right format to generate beneficial insights.

This process is no small feat. It requires both technology and human analysis in order to identify these critical insights for business leaders. This process has historically meant a team of highly specialized data analysts spending hours upon hours sifting through terabytes (or more!) of information to make it digestible and useful.

But that’s all about to change in a big way.

Meet Watson, IBM’s groundbreaking effort to change the future as we know it using Artificial Intelligence (AI).

“Five years ago, IBM built this system made up of 90 servers and 15 terabytes of memory—enough capacity to process all the books in the American Library of Congress,” states Charlie Rose in a recent 60 Minutes feature. “That was necessary because Watson is an avid reader—able to consume the equivalent of a million books per second. Today, Watson’s hardware is much smaller, but it is just as smart.”
