Man Plus Machine: IBM Bringing AI to Requirements Management
As today’s systems engineers are faced with an overflow of data and a significant increase in the complexity of systems, IBM is bringing the power of Watson Artificial Intelligence (AI) to help address the need for getting requirements right the first time. Currently in beta, this move will allow engineers to improve their requirements definition […]
Putting “human” into the driving experience with AI assistants: part 2
Part 2: How should automakers think about engagement? Welcome to part two of the series. Today, I want to continue the conversations and focus on “engagement.” The quick answer is that “engagement” means “personalized.” There won’t be one without the other. The trick for AI assistants is to be able to effectively interact with users […]

Welcome to the new world of experiences through voice assistance
Remember the old series running in the 1980s called Knight Rider?

Treat your hotel customers like royalty…and your data like GOLD!
I am back from HITEC , the world’s premier hospitality technology show, in rainy (just not as rainy as last year) Houston. And this show was a timely reminder of how hospitality and data are inextricably entwined. Customer expectations are as high as ever. Hotels, like so many other disrupted businesses, must constantly evolve and […]
See it in action: robots, IoT and AI unite for optimized operations
How can you improve quality, prevent downtime, and increase throughput in your manufacturing environment? The obvious answer. You bring in a robot (meet ARMonk, ARMie for short), the Internet of Things (IoT), and artificial intelligence (AI). In the series of short demo videos below, ARMie will team up with a series of experts to show you examples […]
A look at AI assistants: how healthy (and private) is your data ecosystem?
Privacy has become the hottest topic of the year. The arrival of the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) and the House of Representatives hearings on Data Protection are two, high-profile examples, and there are so many more.
