IBM Watson goes to Africa

IBM Watson is perhaps the smartest computer on the planet.  It won Jeopardy and defeated the smartest humans on the planet.  But the big question so far has been.....

So what?

IBM Brings Watson to Africa

IBM is now attempting to parlay Watson to solve the greatest business and social challenges affecting the world.  "Project Lucy" will leverage Watson to use Big Data and "develop commercially viable solutions to Africa’s grand challenges in healthcare, education, water and sanitation, human mobility and agriculture."

WOW.

If anyone is going to pull it off, it would be great to bet on the company who introduced to the world computers and printers as well as producing a few Nobel Prize winners.  If you are interested, read more about Project Lucy here.
