Watson on Wall Street

Old_JoeOld_Joe
edited March 2012 in Off-Topic
Excerpted from The Globe and Mail:

IBM's Watson, the supercomputer and star of Jeopardy last year, will soon put its talents to banking. Here are five questions we came up with that the entire U.S. banking industry might have asked Watson at the time. Too late now.

1. How many mortgages on a single Florida property is too many?

2. Can you tell us how much our borrowers earn, because we haven't asked them?

3. This debt insurance that we bought from AIG is good, right?

4. Can you please run a rigorous stress test and crunch the numbers on our mortgage-backed securities?

5. Can you please not crunch the numbers on our compensation and bonuses? Nothing to see there.

    Hi OJ,

    Thank you. A good list of questions. I heard the rumor that Watson will also visit numerous congressional offices.

    Good Evening,
    Catch
