What’s What with Watson 

1. What is IBM Watson?

IBM Watson is technology unlike any other that’s come before. By using its natural language capabilities to understand the complex nuances of everyday English, Watson can accurately analyze massive amounts of data and help people make more informed, evidence-based decisions.

2. How did it get its name?

Watson was named after Thomas J. Watson, who worked at IBM for 42 years and served as chairman from 1949 to 1956. He built a worldwide industry over the many years he led the company and penned the “THINK” motto, which is still a widely known symbol of IBM.

3. Where’s Watson’s new home? Watson will be headquartered in New York City’s emerging “Silicon Alley” technology hub. Hundreds of IBMers will collaborate with industry leaders, entrepreneurs, academics, researchers to create cognitive technology innovations in healthcare, financial services, retail, travel, telecommunications and more.
