Fuimos los creadores del primer telefono inteligente. Lo patentamos (IBM Simon), y por cierto que muchas de sus propiedades fueron heredadas en los diseños de Apple y Samsung. Esto lo hicimos pensando en un mercado que crecería y generaría nuevas necesidades de procesar información.
Comenzamos a prestarle aún más atención a la inteligencia artificial como futuro de las industrias. Hace más de 20 años.
Chef Watson inspires chefs and cooks to discover never-before-seen recipes.

Since then Watson has turned into a panoply of services available on the cloud to let entrepreneurs develop their own cognitive apps: NLP, machine learning, speech, language, vision and data insights. One aspect of AI that was missing to Watson was creativity. Can Watson help its users be more creative?
Analizamos con Watson todas las charlas TED existentes para poder estudiar las ideas y las relaciones entre ellas en los conceptos profundos que buscan cambiar el mundo… Watson puede responder cosas como: Cuál es el sentido de la felicidad?...

not only ingredient combinations, but also proportions and steps

Watson has been trained on Bon Appetit’s database of about 10,000 recipes, helping it learn about dishes and ingredient combinations.
This is no ordinary application – we’re putting the power of cognitive computing and Bon Appetit’s rich recipe database into the hands of the home chef to inspire and change the way they think about creativity in the kitchen.

Let’s get back to the restaurant industry and home cooks
We have become a food-focused culture. First, food TV channels like the Food Network turned a public that largely didn’t care about cooking into foodies. Then social web sites and apps started a whole crowdsourcing movement, where people review restaurants, post stories and pictures of the food they make and the food they eat.
three broad categories when it comes to cooking: makers, remixers, and consumers. These categories aren’t exclusive and the same person can be a maker, a remixer or a consumer on different occasions.
In all these categories, people want a sense of ownership, which is where Chef Watson can help.
For professional chefs, Chef Watson can be an incredible tool for discovery. It can help them discover new ingredients and show them how these foods can be adapted to their personal style. It can help them understand how flavors work and find combinations of ingredients that are fun and unexpected, to then create their own dishes.
Similarly, home cooks today want to turn out show-stopping dishes from their own kitchen. Make food that looks like it came out of a four star restaurant, and share it with friends. CW helps creating food with that wow factor and can provide ways to share it with people, either virtually or physically.
