The era of cognitive computing is coming up, but just how are we teaching computers to think as we do? Kym calls up the General Manager of IBM’s Developer Ecosystem and startups, Sandy Carter, to find out. At the start of today’s show Sandy will tell us a bit about her successful career at IBM and how she has become a strong female presence in an otherwise male dominated field. Kym then asks about the differences between cognitive computing and traditional computing as well as differences between where humans and computers excel and why we need cognitive computing. During the latter half of the show Sandy will respond to questions from several startups including:
Magnus Ivarsson from Game Reality asks about the use of AI cognitive computing in virtual games. Gier Christian Karlsen from AppsCo wants to know how we can use patterns and user behavior to add security to digital life. Faramarz Farhoodi from AquaThings asks which tools Sandy would recommend for knowledge based applications that use strong AI. Alexander gets sandy’s advice for applying AI technology to healthcare startups. Angelica White from ZIPPYAR questions the social impact this technology will have on future generations. Robert from Tally asks if IBM has any projects that will take advantage of the growing chatbot trend. Carlos Uraga from Erle Robotics is curious about how the interaction between robotics and IoT will play out.
Don't forget about our upcoming seminar at Four Points by Sheraton San Jose Airport on May 19th where Rob Black and I will explain how to build a retirement portfolio that lasts. Registration is only $5 so click HERE to sign up!
