Over 500 researchers and family members watched the final night of the Watson/Jeopardy! Grand Challenge at the Thomas J Watson Research Center at Yorktown Heights. Watson received raucous applause and cheers - and provided a few laughs - as the attendees rallied behind Watson. Members of the Watson development team answered questions after the broadcast.

El Cabildo de Lanzarote, IBM y Red Skios han presentado una iniciativa pionera en España. Se trata de una aplicación que consolida una nueva categoría, la del turismo cognitivo, que permite al viajero vivir una experiencia más satisfactoria, rica y personalizada. Esta tecnología hace que la app turística de Lanzarote entienda el lenguaje natural de los visitantes, con su riqueza de matices y giros lingüísticos; es capaz de responder a preguntas complejas en pocos segundos; formula hipótesis y escoge la respuesta indicada ante una pregunta y, lo más llamativo, es que aprende de su propia experiencia, de cada interacción.
