Engadget - Technology's holy grail is the development of a "perfect" Quantum Computer. Traditional computers recognize information as bits: binary information representing "On" or "Off" states. A quantum computer uses qubits: operating in superposition, a qubit exists in all states simultaneously -- not just "On" or "Off," but every possible state in-between. It would theoretically be able to instantly access every piece of information at the same time, meaning that a 250 qubit computer would contain more data than there are particles in the universe. IBM thinks it's closer than ever to realizing this dream and if you want to know more, we have the full details after the break.
IBM is rightfully exciting the facial recognition market, citing racial inequality and police technology reform.
AI isn't just winning at board games. Now it's learning the art of persuasion.
The tech industry today is overrun with devices with some form of the digital assistant. This is a market made popular by Amazon with its Alexa products, and now it seems as if IBM is moving to enter the market with Watson Assistant.
