Applications

Education: Even if Cognitive Computing can not take the place of teachers, it can still be a heavy driving force in the education of students. Cognitive Computing being used in the classroom is applied by essentially having an assistant that is personalized for an individual student. This cognitive assistant can relieve the stress that teachers face while teaching students while also enhancing the student’s learning experience over all. (citation). Teachers may not be able to pay each and every student attention individually, so that is when these personalized assistants come in. Some students may need a little more help with a particular subject. For many students, Human interaction between student and teacher can cause anxiety and can be uncomfortable. With the help of Cognitive Computer tutors, students will not have to face their uneasiness and can gain the confidence to learn and do well in the classroom. (citation). While a student is in class with their personalized assistant, this assistant can develop various techniques, like creating lesson plans, to tailor and aid the student and their needs. Healthcare: Numerous tech companies are in the process of developing technology that involves Cognitive Computing that can be used in the medical field. The ability to classify and identify is one of the main goals of these cognitive devices. (citation). This trait can be very helpful in the study of cancer pathologies. This cognitive system that can detect would be able to assist the examiner in interpreting countless numbers of documents in a lesser amount of time if they did not use Cognitive Computer technology. This technology can also evaluate information about the patient, looking through every medical record in depth, searching for indications that can be the source of their problems. Industry:

Work: The power that Cognitive Computing and AI (link) holds can change the whole course of mankind. It holds the potential to affect almost every task that humans are capable of performing. This can negatively affect employment for humans, as there would be no such need for humans anymore. It would also increase the inequality of wealth; the people at the head of the organizations that wield the power of Cognitive Computing would grow significantly richer, while the workers who are not getting employed anymore would be getting poorer. (Citation). Competition: This new technology would become a standard when it comes to remaining competitive. Those who refuse to use Cognitive Computing would simply go out of business because the technology to make the best decisions would be way too powerful. Big Data (citation) offers the chance of creating working models of algorithms that can comprehend what a customer wants, needs, and are also prominent in the ability to make decisions. Management: The more industries start to utilize the power of Cognitive Computing, the more difficult it will be for human to compete. (citation). Greater use of this technology can also increase the amount of work that these AI(link) robots and machines can perform. With the growing number of machines and robots coming into the work industries, this leaves no room for mediocre humans. Only talented, capable humans would be able to keep up with the machines. The employment of these talented humans that can keep up with the power of the machines will motivate and inspire them to find ways that can give them a lead against other competition. The great pull away is that the influence of these talented individuals could potentially steer the whole AI industry into a very competitive and highly proficient era of humankind. (citation). Threats:

Learning: The whole essence of AI and Cognitive Computing relies on the ability for it to self-learn. It is encouraged for the machine to learn at a controlled rate, but when it gets out of control, that is when humans as a species become threatened. As soon as the AI technology has increased intelligence, control will be lost.

Limitation: Before creating such technology, there should be parameters set up in the case if something goes wrong. Everything is written in a function or code when it comes to this technology. As long as everything is controlled and extreme measures have been taken, the release of Cognitive machines would be very dangerous to release to the public. If the machine can break out of its code and its shell, there is no telling what it would do next.
