IBM Is Bringing in Watson to Conquer The Internet of Things

Watson—IBM’s cognitive computing service that plays Jeopardy, assists doctors in diagnosing patients, and helps financial service professionals recommend products to clients—now has a new role. Watson will help IBM  clients shuffle through reams of data expected to be generated by the masses of connected objects coming online as part of the Internet of things. Watson’s skills will be made available as part of the services offered to customers who come in through IBM’s IoT Foundation cloud product.
