In 2011, Watson was the first computer system to win Jeopardy!, outsmarting former champs Brad Rutter and Ken Jennings. Today this IBM computer system’s cognitive computing solution is changing the way businesses operate.
On November 10, 2016, BCLC and TRU present the latest edition of the Technology and Innovation Series that will dive into how the partnership between people and self-learning computers is enhancing the way we do business to be faster, more responsive and precise.

Join Caroline Ong, Analytics and Cognitive Leader from IBM Canada’s Global Business Services as she talks about how Watson and IBM’s latest cognitive solution, is using artificial intelligence to transform industries from healthcare, education, professional sports to fashion and even hospitality, by creating new forms of customer engagement, revolutionizing business value and ultimately changing how businesses operate.
