認知コンピューティング

コンピューター化されたモデルで人間の思考プロセスをシミュレートするAIのサブセットで、人間の助けなしに複雑な問題を解決することを目的としています。

Definition

Encompasses systems (e.g., IBM Watson) that use NLP, machine learning, and reasoning to interpret unstructured data, learn over time, and provide evidence-based recommendations. Cognitive computing workloads require robust validation, transparent reasoning chains, and continuous updating to avoid drifting from real-world knowledge.

Real-World Example

A healthcare provider uses a cognitive computing platform that reads medical journals, patient records, and clinical guidelines to suggest personalized treatment plans—presenting supporting evidence citations so clinicians can verify each recommendation.
