Cognitive computing<\/a> is the process of mimicking the human brain\u00a0to enable better human decision making. \u00a0It\u00a0involves humans <\/a>as part of the loop, making it more a type of\u00a0\u00a0\u201caugmented intelligence\u201d rather than \u201cartificial intelligence\u201d.<\/p>\n

Ginni Rometty<\/a>, chairman, president and CEO of IBM,\u00a0said that<\/a> “Cognitive is much more than AI.\u00a0If you see a continuum of what you can achieve with technologies\u2014it\u2019s machine learning on the one end, next is AI and then cognitive.”<\/p>\n

Ross Dawson<\/a>, chief futurist at marketing and innovation group Rh7thm, said that<\/a> cognitive computing will make it feel \u201cas natural to interact with a computer as with a human. You can speak to them, use gestures, ask questions, seek clarification \u2013 it will be easier for people, there\u2019s no need to sit at keyboards. [In business] people can be more efficient so there will be productivity gains.”<\/p>\n
