Decision-makers are Beginning to Appreciate the Value of Cognitive Computing

The article discusses cognitive computing, a type of AI that aims to mimic human thinking. It's distinct from traditional AI (machine learning) because it can handle ambiguity and uncertainty. Cognitive computing systems are adaptive, interactive, iterative, and contextual. They are designed to augment human decision-making, not replace it. Businesses can leverage cognitive computing to gain insights from data and improve decision-making. While AI can make predictions, human judgment is still critical for making final decisions.
