IBM's Watson is changing careers

Watson, the  Jeopardy-playing supercomputer is interesting in doing more than sparring with Alex Trebek. So it's going into business.

"Data analytics is nothing new. But the terabytes upon terabytes of unstructured data in the world (including Tweets, Facebook updates and Amazon reviews) is unprecedented. According to IBM's Saxena, 90% of the world's information was generated in the last two years. Producing data is much easier than making sense of it. That's where Watson and other next-generation analytics tools come in."
