This issue of Cutter Business Technology Journal (CBTJ) is focused on cognitive computing, a term that is similar to, but currently more popular than, artificial intelligence (AI). It refers to all those innovations in computing that are being driven by various types of AI research. Cognitive computing applications can provide superior interfaces that allow computer systems to interact with customers or employees, with the Internet or massive databases, or with computer chips embedded in almost any item you might want to track. The applications, once trained, can talk with people using ordinary language, ask questions, and then provide answers or recommendations.
