Core Concepts
Cognitive Computing
Cognitive computing systems mimic human thought processes using AI, ML, NLP, and computer vision to interact with humans naturally, reason about complex problems, and learn from experience. IBM Watson popularized the term in the 2010s.
Unlike traditional rule-based systems, cognitive computing systems handle ambiguity and uncertainty, making them suited for tasks like medical diagnosis support, customer service, and legal research.
