Information Management, US: Cognizant Executives Outline Key Strategies for Making the Best Cognitive Computing Investments
“Taking a heuristic approach to investing in cognitive computing ensures that an organization will see immediate return from mature cognitive computing technologies with minimal risk,” says Aan Chauhan. Srinivas TK continues, “Gaining experience with practical cognitive computing will enable organizations to envision additional uses for the technology.” Excerpts:
Cognitive computing is making great strides in replicating many human abilities, from visual and auditory perception to making decisions using large and complex data sets. As cognitive computing capabilities grow, so do opportunities for transforming organizations, from how infrastructure is provisioned and managed to how customers are engaged and delighted.
