Initial Watson was sort of a mess. But a lot of the Watson-related tech is integrated into a lot of products these days.

What related tech and what products, interesting to read about them

  • Baked into a lot a Red Hat products including Ansible and RHEL. Not that directly involved any longer. Probably read up on watsonx.ai.

Such as? I'm curious because I know a bunch of people who did a lot of Watson-related work and it was all a dead end, but that was 2020-ish timeframe.

  • IBM did a lot of pretty fragmented and often PR-adjacent work. And getting into some industry-specific (e.g. healthcare) things that didn't really work out. But my understanding is that it's better standardized and embedded in products these days.
