So please welcome to the stage dr. John kelly from ibm and our moderator, alex wilhelm. Okay. So were going to try to be different today. Were going to do a live demo which i props you works this morning promise you works this morning. Well see. What were about to see and why do we care . Well, alex, what youre about to see is something that no one else has ever seen other than people deep in my research labs. Many of you remember watson, the Artificial Intelligence machine, on the game of jeopardy. At the time it was an open domain, question and answer system at the forefront of Artificial Intelligence.
