Iris (Intelligent Rival Imitator of Siri) for Android, Android Tablet. Watson. Hypothesis Generation When asked a question, Watson relies on hypothesis generation and evaluation to rapidly parse relevant evidence and evaluate responses from disparate data. Natural Language Watson can read and understand natural language, important in analyzing unstructured data that make up as much as 80 percent of data today. Dynamic Learning Through repeated use, Watson literally gets smarter by tracking feedback from its users and learning from both successes and failures. Watson is a cognitive technology that processes information more like a human than a computer—by understanding natural language, generating hypotheses based on evidence, and learning as it goes.

1st Artificially Intelligent Adam & Eve Created. The rise of the robots hasn't resulted in a murderous rampage quite yet, but it has reaped an enormous toll on low-level jobs. Assembly lines, farms, factories - the machines have taken over millions of man-hours, but now the scientists have surpassed those systems and begun to make themselves obsolete. Because Adam is online - and he's a scientist. UK researchers have hooked up an experiment-designing program to all the automated equipment needed to do its own lab work. This isn't arrays of repetitive tasks, although Adam can do that no problem, this is real science.

The Adam system was basically told "go look at yeast" and successfully theorized, experimented, analyzed and refined its results from start to finish. Other automated assistants have the humans coming back asking "Did you do what I told you? " Summary: An artificially intelligent Adam and Eve already exist, and are in charge of a cyber-genetics laboratory.
