Today, it is the entry point to the cognitive era, enabling enterprises to drive critical insights. With India’s focus on digitisation, it’s an apt time for organisations to make this transition,” said Gaurav Sharma, Vice President, IBM India Software Labs and Vice President, Growth IBM India & South Asia. IBM ‘ML Hub’ also provides a platform for like-minded enterprises to collaborate and transform their data science processes. The company has similar ‘ML Hubs’ in Toronto, San Jose, California, at IBM’s Silicon Valley Lab, Beijing, and Boblingen, Germany. This news comes after IBM announced earlier that more than 40 global clients in industries as varied as financial services, healthcare and education have joined the IBM Watson for Cyber Security beta program. The program uses the Watson AI to provide security services to these companies. Clients include Sun Life Financial, SCANA, California Polytechnic State University and Avnet. With inputs from IANS
