My Response to the Video 'Watson at Work: Engineering'

How the Video Watson at Work: Engineering Relates to My Topic

This video advertisement by International Business Machines Corporation embodies the idea that artificial intelligence can be human because it shows that Watson can definitely perform stereotypical human operations, such as recognizing when facilities are near to failing before they fail and scheduling repairs, which is exactly what is displayed in the video advertisement.

How Viewing Watson at Work: Engineering Helped Me Understand My Topic Better

Viewing this video helped me to believe more that artificial intelligence can be human because it shows how Watson could be just like the receptionist/secretary of the office in the video, and even faster and more equipped because it could perform the same human tasks in double the time.

How the Author of Watson at Work: Engineering Conveyed these Ideas to the Reader

International Business Machines Corporation used dramatically visual techniques to further their point about Watson being human. It showed Watson on a table in the elevator, as if it were a person standing in the elevator, and talking to the receptionist/secretary as if it were a person.
