我们正在跨越计算进化的新前沿，进入认知系统时代。IBM公司的沃森在电视智力竞赛节目《危险！揭示了IBM和其他地方的科学家和工程师如何突破科学和技术的界限，创造出能够以新的方式感知、学习、推理和与人互动的机器，以提供洞察力和建议。在《智能机器》中，约翰·E. IBM研究部主任凯利三世和IBM作家、前商业和技术记者史蒂夫哈姆向普通观众介绍了“认知系统”的迷人世界，并提供了一个了解计算未来的窗口。认知系统有望穿透复杂性，帮助人们和组织做出更好的决策。它们可以帮助医生评估和治疗病人，增加我们的视野，预测重大天气事件，并为更明智的城市规划做出贡献。Kelly和哈姆的全面视角从里到外描述了这项技术，并解释了它将如何帮助我们克服对“大数据”的利用和理解，这是未来几十年企业和政府面临的主要计算挑战之一。他们的书引人入胜，充满激情，将激励政府、学术界和全球科技行业共同努力，推动这一令人兴奋的创新浪潮。
We are crossing a new frontier in the evolution of computing and entering the era of cognitive systems. The victory of IBM's Watson on the television quiz show Jeopardy! revealed how scientists and engineers at IBM and elsewhere are pushing the boundaries of science and technology to create machines that sense, learn, reason, and interact with people in new ways to provide insight and advice.In Smart Machines, John E. Kelly III, director of IBM Research, and Steve Hamm, a writer at IBM and a former business and technology journalist, introduce the fascinating world of "cognitive systems" to general audiences and provide a window into the future of computing. Cognitive systems promise to penetrate complexity and assist people and organizations in better decision making. They can help doctors evaluate and treat patients, augment the ways we see, anticipate major weather events, and contribute to smarter urban planning. Kelly and Hamm's comprehensive perspective describes this technology inside and out and explains how it will help us conquer the harnessing and understanding of "big data," one of the major computing challenges facing businesses and governments in the coming decades. Absorbing and impassioned, their book will inspire governments, academics, and the global tech industry to work together to power this exciting wave in innovation.
