Are you interested in the remarkable progress of cognitive computing? Do you want to get a glimpse of what the future may look like? Then, do not miss that webinar.
Cognitive Computing is the new frontier of the information age. Computers have evolved into indispensable tools of our modern societies. They have revolutionized many aspects of our everyday lives.
Cognitive systems mimic the way we humans reason, allowing us to express in unstructured ways, such as speech and vision. They can debate with us, test our ideas against incredible volumes of data. They give us insights that ultimately free us, enabling us to focus on our deepest of human capabilities: intuition and intelligence.
Pharmaceuticals and materials discovery, attacking cancer, understanding complex natural ecosystems, economy and technology: all this is now possible in a small fraction of the previously required time.

As Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies advance, and humans and AI systems increasingly work together, it is essential that we trust these systems and the outputs they generate. IBM is leading the way in developing trusted AI systems for business. Alongside policy considerations and business efforts, our researchers have a central role to play: They are creating AI innovations that address transparency, detect and remove bias - and ensure security and reliability of the systems. In this webinar, you gain more insights into how IBM Research is building trust and transparency in AI.
