Cognitive computing represents a transformative approach in the field of artificial intelligence (AI), emulating human thought processes in complex environments. It combines various AI and machine learning (ML) techniques to simulate the way the human brain functions in interpreting data, making decisions, and solving problems. Unlike traditional computing systems, which rely on explicit programming and rules, cognitive computing systems learn and adapt over time, drawing on data inputs and feedback to improve their understanding and performance. The ultimate aim is to create systems that can interact naturally with humans, understand context, and reason through situations to deliver more accurate and meaningful outcomes.
