The researchers are not IBM's problem but the management that is not capable of bringing that research to market.
- notgritty 8y agoI’m skeptical. There are lots of companies that top ML experts turn their nose at (Salesforce, Amazon) and I can’t imagine that IBM would attract better people than that.
- verdverm 8y agoDo you think that only top researchers are capable of moving the needle? And that these researchers only work at brand name AI companies. It seems FB and Google have had more negative societal impacts (ie fake news, public manipulation) than IBM, Salesforce, and numerous other niche AI companies. We all need a more nuanced perspective on all thinks than this absolutism we have embraced as a society, online.
