While working on Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute’s News and Editorial team I had the opportunity to talk to and write about some amazing people. One of them was RPI graduate David Ferrucci. He led the team that developed IBM’s astounding talking and thinking Watson computer. You might recall Watson in its early days as the computer that beat the all-time Jeopardy! champions in a three-night televised challenge. Here’s a link to my article about Watson and Ferrucci on the RPI magazine’s website.
