LAGUNA BEACH, Calif. -- International Business Machines Corp.'s
Watson artificial intelligence technology is on track to be used in
some form by a billion people by the end of next year, Chief
Executive Ginni Rometty said Wednesday.
Ms. Rometty pointed to the company's new deal with General
Motors Co. to pair Watson with GM's OnStar system in cars as an
example of how IBM is extending Watson's reach.
Speaking at The Wall Street Journal's WSJDLive 2016 technology
conference here, she said such partnerships will put Watson in
contact with hundreds of millions of people by the end of this
year.
