The Big Misconception About IBM's Watson
The conversation around robots and automation is one that continues to grow and get more attention. However I've noticed a growing trend among business publications that cover this topic. Typically IBM's Watson gets mentioned as one of the key innovations that's going to replace and automate jobs and I think this is a huge misconception. I have had the opportunity to tour the IBM Watson innovation facility in New York City and speak with people that work on Watson which by the way, was not designed with the intention to replace jobs or take jobs away from humans. Watson was created as a way to assist humans while improving decision making capabilities.
