See You Next Year!

Sadly, it's time to say goodbye. It's been a wonderful conference and it was an honor to live-blog my way through it for you -- I hope you enjoyed it and learned a lot in the process!

So much good stuff throughout the week it's tough to know where to start. IBM CEO Ginni Rometty's Chairman's Address was particularly enlightening (you can re-watch it in full here).

Be sure to scroll down to recap the full conference from my perspective, and head over to the Think 2018 website to catch up on anything else you might've missed. 

I'm looking forward to next year's Think event in San Francisco already, and until then, i'll leave you with this quote from Dr. Michio Kaku's innovation talk.

"IBM has always meant the future, because IBM went where no one had gone before."

Look Inside The Maserati GranCabrio

One of the crowd favorites on the Think 2018 showroom floor was Harman's Maserati GranCabrio, which features the the newly-announced Watson Assistant in its digital cockpit, which you can read about more in The Verge.

I was lucky enough to sit inside the car, and I can confirm it was pretty fantastic way to end a wonderful conference. Check it out.

I wonder if they'll let me keep it?

This Dancing Robot Is Hilarious

I love everything about this dancing robot, powered by IBM's IoT technology. Love it so much.

It's not just that it's a dancing robot, it's the hilarious choice of song. Dance away, little guy. Dance away.

A Mini Mercedes-Benz Stadium

IBM's tech behind the Mercedes-Benz Stadium is utterly fascinating. As you can read more about here, it's designed to " redefine the fan experience."

The stadium incorporates a broad array of technologies integrated to work together as a seamless, unified system. The result is a truly personalized experience that serves fans at every moment. At home, in transit and in their seats, fans can connect to the stadium and to each other for an immersive experience like no other.

It's also, as the article goes on to note, a "stunning structure." I haven't been able to see it in person yet, but there's this brilliant miniature model of the stadium on the showroom floor that I particularly enjoyed.

The Floor Of The Watson Display Is Mesmerizing

It's the final day of Think (so sad), so I'm running around trying to experience everything I couldn't get to over the last few days, because there's so much fun stuff that I don't want to miss. Like the floor of the Watson display on the Think showroom floor. It's equipped with sensors which track and follow your footsteps. Pretty mesmerizing, check it out...

Amazing Stat Alert!

The world is exploding with data -- and there's more to come. To help illustrate that point, here's an amazing stat from Wednesday at Think...

Spot The Human Statue

One of these three people is actually a humans. Lots of laughs on the Think floor for this display by Automation Anywhere (read more about that partnership here).

'IBM Cloud Gave Us All That Our Customers Needed'

One of my favorite keynotes of Think 2018 so far came courtesy of American Airlines' CIO Maya Leibman.

Speaking on Tuesday, she outlined three different problems that IBM's cloud helped solve:

  1. "IBM Cloud gave us best routing for baggage handling crew using Watson conversation service."
  2. "IBM Cloud established cloud COE and governance for every workload."
  3. "IBM Cloud gave us all that our customers needed."

She finished her talk by thanking IBM for having three woman speak in her keynote at the end. So much great stuff. You can re-watch the keynote here.

I'm The Captain Now

One of my favorite exhibits in the Think Academy section of Think 2018 is Star Trek Bridge Crew demo.

To start the demo you sit in a chair and place over your eyes a virtual reality headset. You're then instantly transported aboard the USS Enterprise, and powered by Watson Unity SDK technology, you command the ship through phrases lie "full speed ahead" and "red alert."

It's loads of fun and really gets the adrenaline pumping. Here's a picture of it in action...

Salesforce Is Giving Away Delicious Einstein Cookies

Breaking news right here.

IBM partner Salesforce, which has a big exhibit set up at booth #540, is giving away Einstein cookies. I tried one in the name of science and can confirm they're delicious.

You can read more about IBM's partnership with Salesforce here.

'A Quantum Leap In Quantum Computing'

Wednesday's Keynote on quantum computing offered an exhilarating look at the future of computing.

IBM's Director of IBM Research IBM Arvind Krishna spoke alongside guests Kohei Itoh (Dean, Faculty of Science and Technology at Keio University) and Talia Gershon (Senior Manager, AI Challenges and Quantum Experiences at IBM) and discussed the advances IBM is making in the space, citing a "quantum leap in quantum computing."

He ended with an inspiring look at the future:

"There's a whole host of problems that traditional computers can't solve, and will never be able to. We're building real quantum computers today, and people are using them. The future is quantum, and quantum is here."

After the keynote, I went and snapped a picture of the core of IBM's prototype 50 Qubit computer stationed on the Think showroom floor.

'100 Percent Of Our Revenue Will Touch The Cloud'

So much interesting stuff coming out of the "Beyond Infrastructure: Architecting the One Platform for Smarter Business" Cloud keynote, it's hard to know where to begin.

The keynote boasted a range of impressive speakers, including John LaFreniere of Hertz and Jeff Martin of TD Bank.

LaFreniere talked about Hertz's cloud partnership with IBM, saying that he saw "instant results."

"By the end of this year, almost 100 percent of our revenue will touch the cloud in some form or fashion. Which is huge. Two years ago, it would've been zero."

Martin added that IBM was a key partner in helping TD Bank drive an "agile, digital" enviroment for its customers.

"IBM demonstrated that they really understood our business...They demonstrated that they would help us create a better more flexible solution, and that's exactly what they've done."

Geat stuff. You can re-watch the full keynote blow:

To Infinity, And Beyond!

One of the live demos at Think Academy was called the "Infinity Cube," and it's something straight out of a science fiction movie.

It's a small cube about the size of a telephone booth, with mirrors on all four sides. You step inside, select one of four different videos -- Blockchain (which I chose), Cloud Native, Modern AI, or Help me choose -- and suddenly you're consumed in a fully immersive educational experience. 

Cool stuff. Here's a picture of the infinity cube.

A New Blockchain Platform

Some big blockchain news from Day 3 at Think! IBM announced Wednesday it was launching a new, lower-cost plan for firms looking to develop blockchain applications.

CNBC has the story:

"The new plan is perfect for pilot projects and early stage development work for those who want to build solutions on the IBM blockchain platform which currently has over 250 active blockchain networks," Marie Wieck, general manager of IBM Blockchain, told CNBC in an email on Wednesday. "Our expertise in building and scaling networks is invaluable and will be shared across a wide ecosystem."

Blockchain's potential to disrupt the supply chain industry has been a hot topic this week at Think. During his Wednesday keynote on the subject, Walmart's Vice President of Food Safety Frank Yiannas says IBM and blockchain is helping the company realize "a vision for a more digital and transparent food system," while IBM estimates blockchain will create $3.1 billion in economic value by 2030.

As IBM's Chief Marketing Officer Michelle Peluso cites below, IBM CEO Ginni Rometty highlighted blockchain's potential during her Chairman's address on Tuesday:

#InclusiveIBM

On Tuesday night, IBM CEO Ginni Rometty officially accepted a 2018 Catalyst Award on behalf of the company for advancing women and diversity in business.

During her Chairman's Address, Rometty spoke of her pride in receiving the award for a record fourth time:

"We're the only company on the planet to win [The Catalyst Award] four times, and we're the only tech company to ever get it."

Proud news for IBM, during a week already featuring a range of diverse voices from industries across the world.

Check Out My New TJ Bot

TJ Bot is a do-it-yourself, programmable cardboard robot powered by Watson Services. It's an open source project that people have been using to create all kinds of things -- including even teaching it to talk about Fantasy Baseball.

TJ Bot is the subject of a really cool demo at Think. People can learn how it all works, how to build one, then they can design their own TJ Bot and arrange to have it printed out. I tried my hand at designing one; I originally intended to try to make it look like me, but I made a game-time decision to turn it into a basketball-playing pirate with a green mohawk. 

Very happy with my decision.

An Inspiring Quote To Start Your Day

Welcome to Day Three at Think 2018. We've got a busy day ahead -- you can check out the live streaming agenda here -- but here's an inspiring quote from the great Thomas J. Watson to kick it all off.

It's one of a number of quotes hanging around Think, and it makes me smile every time I walk past it.

"Follow the path of the unsafe independent thinker."

Dr. Michio Kaku: 'IBM has always meant the future'

So much cool stuff from futurist Dr. Michio Kaku's innovation talk, "The Scientific Future," but the geek in me was particularly fascinated by his thoughts on how the human race will get to Mars. 

Dr. Kaku says the human race needs an "insurance policy" against an unforeseen planetary catastrophe -- "the dinosaurs did not have a space program", he quipped.

And how will they get there? Through a combination of AI, quantum computing, and neural networks, he says.

"We need to become an interplanetary species, and the backbone of that effort will be artificial intelligence, neural networks, and quantum computing....AI, quantum computing will propel us to Mars. A new second computer revolution is upon us."

That's when Dr. Kaku shifted his attention specifically to IBM, which he cited as a "leader" in those areas.

"We'll have instantaneous knowledge, and not only that. You'll be able to talk to it, and it'llbe able to talk back with specialized information....and that is exactly what the IBM Watson computer is all about.

And on quantum specifically:

"Quantum is the next phase of computing; it will replace silicon based computing ... quantum computing is still in its infancy; as always IBM is a leader."

He said, before finishing:

"To me, IBM has always meant the future, because IBM went where no one had gone before."

'AI Is The Difference'

I was lucky enough to be in the crowd for Richard Hearn (IBM's General Manager of Worldwide Sales & Offerings) for his talk "How AI Empowers You to Engage Customers at Every Step of Their Journey," and I especially enjoyed this quote.

With the explosion of data and and the rise of AI changing the way businesses operate across the planet, Hearn explained it succinctly:

"AI is the difference between being disrupted and leveraging the disruption."

@IBMforMarketing live-tweeted the entire session, so check out their Twitter feed to catch up on everything you missed.

People Are Geeking Out About This Formula 1 Car

There's a Formula 1 car at Think, and people are really excited about it. Full Disclosure: I am one of those people.

If you're a fan of Formula 1 racing, you'll know that it's an incredibly data-driven sport. Drivers push to optimize every inch of the car's performance, because in a sport so technologically advanced and data-driven, races are often won and lost around the margins.

Data and analytics, as a result, are massively important to that process, which is why Red Bull Racing partners with IBM Spectrum solutions to compile, store and derive insights from all that data. Nathan Sykes, Red Bull Racing's Head of Numerical Tools and Technology, describes the importance of the process:

"Working with IBM enables us to make better decisions by unlocking the full potential of our data, ultimately translating into success on the track."

To help illustrate how it all works, Red Bull Racing brought a Formula 1 car to Think, along with two track simulators, so people can experience what it's like behind the wheel of one of the most technologically advanced vehicles on the planet.

'100,000,000 Million Lines Of Code'

I used to think cars were cars. Now I'm starting to think that they're actually giant computers with wheels.

Why, you ask? Because during Tuesday morning's keynote "IoT and AI: This Changes Every-thing," a discussion of how AI-powered IoT solutions help better engineer products, Parham Antonio Vasaiely of Jaguar Land Rover dropped this incredible statistic about the amount of code in automated cars.

I don't know about you, but 100,000,000 million lines of code seems like a lot of lines of code.

Stephen Surhigh of Harman International also featured in the keynote, whose company announced it would feature Watson Assistant in the digital cockpit on its Maserati GranCabrio. Head over to Engaget to read more about that story.

Amazing Look At The Crowd For Ginni Rometty's Chairman's Address

A sell out!

Thanks to IBMer Christina Howell for capturing this incredible look at the crowd during IBM CEO Ginni Rometty's Chairman's Address.

'It’s Not Man Versus Machine. It’s Man And Machine'

They keynote immediately following IBM CEO Ginni Rometty's keynote address was the "The Journey to AI," hosted by IBM's Dr. John Kelly and David Kenny amd featuring an impressive slate of guests: Gary M. Reedy from the American Cancer Society; Craig B. Thompson from the Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center; Jensen Huang from NVIDIA; Aaron Levie from Box; André Coisne from Orange Bank; and Barbry McGann from Workday.

@IBMWatson live-tweeted the whole session, so be sure to check out their feed, but here's a few quotes about how Watson will transform industries across the world that I really enjoyed:

IBM VP Gives An Eye-Opening Demonstration On 'The Today Show'

With hacking and data breaches a hot topic in the news cycle, Caleb Barlow, the Vice President of threat intelligence at IBM, appeared with Megyn Kelly on The Today Show and dazzled the audience with an amazing cyber-security demonstration.

From a pool of 22 volunteers in the audience, Barlow called on seven people by name and asked them to stand up.

"Were you aware that your personal information has been part of a data breach?" he asked. Most answered "no."

"Several of you were actually involved in multiple breaches," he later revealed.

He went on to explain how best to avoid malicious hackers and the keys to protecting your data online.

Really interesting stuff. Watch the full segment below:

Watch IBM CEO Ginni Rometty's Chairman's Address

 

IBM CEO Ginni Rometty kicked-off a busy day of keynotes at Think 2018 with her Chairman's Address on Tuesday,

Lowell C. McAdam, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, Verizon Communications; Dave McKay, President & Chief Executive Officer, RBC; and Michael White, CEO-designate, IBM-Maersk Joint Venture, will join Rometty on stage to talk about how they're putting smart to work. We'll be highlighting key quotes from the address, but you can watch (or re-watch!) the speech in full via IBM's Facebook account below.

From Ginni Rometty:

  • "It is a moment that happens every 25 years. It's something that happens when business and technology architectures are changing at the same time. It has the potential to change everything."
  • "How much of the world's data is searchable? 20 percent. Who has the other 80 percent? You do...it's that data it makes you the incumbent disruptor. This is going to be an era that is going to favor those that have a history."
  • "When I said and era of man and machine; man and machine always get a better answer than man alone and machine alone."
  • "[AI] is the greatest opportunity of our time, but also has the potential to be the greatest issue of our time."
  • "I am convinced 100 percent of jobs will change. And not everyone has to have a PhD or a university degree to work in this new world."
  • "IBM is spending half a billion dollars re-training every year."
  • "We're the only company on the planet to win [The Catalyst Award] four times, and we're the only tech company to ever get it."

From Verizon's Lowell C. McAdam:

  • "We have enough fiber to go to Mars, I’ve told Elon Musk that when we land there we’re going to have fiber service."
  • "We're using Watson in our oath call centers and in our wired call centers...[IBM] has been able to upgrade those capabilities and apply that learning to our network.
  • "I don't know one industry that won't be significantly disrupted [by AI]. All those things you wanted to do but couldn't quite do before, those barriers will go away. I couldn't be more excited."

From IBM-Maersk's Michael White:

  • "It's an incredibly cumbersome and labor-intensive process. It's truly time for this industry to embrace the digital age."
  • When I had the opportunity to embrace the digitization of our industry....I said, 'I'm in.' I didn't know the terms, but I knew that somebody's going to digitize global trade."
  • "Blockchain is not a solution in search of a problem. It's the solution to many of the problems in global trade."
  • "The industry is transforming...We expect this kind of technology in our personal life but we don't expect it in our business life. It's time to embrace the opportunity that digitization can provide."

From RBC's Dave McKay:

  • "The money-moving business is increasingly embedded in digital platforms...When we move to mobile, for instance, we couldn't take a bank and shove it onto this screen and expect it to work. You need to rethink your entire organization from front-end to back-end to front again."
  • "We need to partner with Watson because there’s too much opportunity out there...Taking data knowledge to value is the competitive premise that will differentiate players across all industries, not just our industry."
  • "We have over 60 apps developed with IBM on the IBM Cloud. It's a transformational capability, it's moving our bank forward at a cadence we've never seen before."
IBM And Apple Announce New Partnership For 'Smartest Ever Mobile Apps'

Woah! This is some big news to wake up to. No need for coffee this morning (only kidding, there's literally always a need for coffee). 

Ahead of a bus second day at Think 2018, IBM and Apple announced a new partnership that would combine IBM Watson machine learning with Apple Core ML. IBM has built hundreds of enterprise apps on Apple's platform, but the new partnership takes the relationship a step further, as Tech Crunch helpfully explains.

The way it works is that a customer builds a machine learning model using Watson, taking advantage of data in an enterprise repository to train the model. For instance, a company may want to help field service techs point their iPhone camera at a machine and identify the make and model to order the correct parts. You could potentially train a model to recognize all the different machines using Watson’s image recognition capability.

9to5Mac said the partnership will lead to the "the smartest ever mobile apps."

Exciting news ahead of a big day at Think. Next up! IBM CEO Ginni Rometty's keynote address, which you can watch by following the link below.

Google Deploys IBM's Power9

Some big news out of the nearby OpenPOWER Summit!

Google's Maire Mahoney confirmed on stage at the event that the company has deployed its IBM POWER9-based systems into its data centers and is "scaling up" machine count, adding that she considers the platform "Google strong."

Forbes highlights what Google likes about IBM's POWER9:

  • More cores and threads for core Google search
  • More memory bandwidth for RNN machine learning execution
  • Faster and "more open" flash NAND sitting on OpenCAPI acceleration bus
Think Academy Is Giving Away Free GIFs

Well, that's one life goal complete. I officially have my own GIF.

Think Academy is giving away free GIFs at Think 2018. You take a three second video of yourself making a fun pose, and then pick one of three filters... "I'm a Data Master"

"I Own My Cloud"

And "I can predict the future"

That's the one I ended up going with, and I definitely don't regret it.

5 in 5: Quantum Is Going Mainstream

IBM Research's final "5 in 5" prediction is on an endlessly fascinating topic: Quantum Computing.

Within five years, quantum computing will move from a "researcher's playground" into the mainstream, writes IBM's Head of research Arvind Krishna:

In five years, quantum computing will be used extensively by new categories of professionals and developers to solve problems once considered unsolvable. Quantum will be ubiquitous in university classrooms, and will even be available, to some degree, at the high school level.

For a brief explainer of how quantum computing works, check out this video from IBM Think Academy:

5 in 5: Only Unbiased AIs Will Survive

AI is in the process of transforming businesses all across the globe, but in order to unlock this potential, programmers need to monitor and prevent AI bias.

From IBM Research:

A crucial principle, for both humans and machines, is to avoid bias and therefore prevent discrimination. Bias in AI system mainly occurs in the data or in the algorithmic model. As we work to develop AI systems we can trust, it’s critical to develop and train these systems with data that is unbiased and to develop algorithms that can be easily explained.

The piece goes on to explain that "more than 180 human biases have been defined and classified" in AI, a number that "will increase" in the coming years.

IBM's Head of Research Arvind Krishna writes that IBM scientists have developed a method to reduce bias in AI, because as IBM Research notes: AI systems are only as good as the data we put into them.

An A+ Dev Joke

Saw it hanging on the Think Academy floor.

Admit it, you laughed too.

5 in 5: Staying Ahead Of Malicious Hackers

Here are two terrifying statistics: 

Nearly 4 billion data records were stolen in 2016, and by 2021, cyber-crime will cost an estimated $6 trillion in losses annually. One of IBM Research's "5 in 5" predictions is that as technology continues to advance, particularly as quantum becomes more mainstream, it will outpace current encryption models and leave today's security methods "woefully inadequate." Thankfully, IBM Research has a solution to this emerging problem: Lattice cryptography.

IBM Research explains it succinctly (you can read more about lattice cryptography at IBM Research here):

Lattice cryptography hides data inside complex math problems (algebraic structures) called lattices...creating problems that are considered impossible to solve without the key.

The GIF below is a visual demonstration of how lattice cryptography works.

My Heart-Racing Attempt To Stop A Cyber-Attack

So I did some wondering around and found myself lost in the Think Academy portion of the event space (it's on the second floor, for the readers who might be here in person).

Spoiler alert: It's a fantastic place to get lost.

There are so many fascinating things on display, but one that caught my eye immediately was courtesy of IBM Security. It's a simulated, virtual-reality experience that takes place from the floor of one of IBM's X-Force Command Centers as a cyber attack is unfolding. The whole experience takes about five minutes and it's really fun and informative.

"Do you have the right tools, expertise, and leadership skills to stop a cyber-attack?" the introductory board asks.

Turns out, I don't.

The experience starts by giving you an option of responding to one of three different kinds of cyber-attacks: Ransom by DDoS, a Trojan Attack, or a random attack. I chose a DDoS attack.

Shortly after, you find yourself in a room with the CEO of a startup when he hears his website is the subject of a DDoS attack on the eve of its schedule launch. You're forced to make a few different choices, including an option pay the ransom in exchange for stopping the DDoS (I didn't), but the choices I did make didn't turn out too well. My actions forced the startup to delay its launch by two days.

So, basically, I should probably just stick to live-blogging.

'How can you trust your data without the big picture?'

I'm taking a quick break from 5 in 5 stuff because I had way too much fun on this thing: When you walk into Think 2018 one of the first things you'll see is a big board by IBM Analytics. It scrolls through messages, like "Can you trust your data?" and "IBM Buisiness Analytics" and "Wow!" 

The link to the website on top of the board, ibm.co/canyoutrustyourdata contains some fascinating insights on data privacy in an article titled "How can you trust your data without the big picture?" It also compliments IBM Analytics' recent Cloud Private for Data announcement (you can read Rob Thomas' post on that here).

But after a few moments, you realize that the board includes a surprise: A tiny camera below that screen that imprints your outline onto the screen as the messages scroll across. I spent a solid five minutes waving my arms around trying to see if I could use them to erase the words on the screen. I was medium successful on that front, as you can see below, but fantastically successful in the getting-weird-looks-from-people-around-me department.

5 in 5: Tiny Computers 'Smaller Than A Grain Of Salt'

Next up in IBM Research's Science Slam, showcasing five technology predictions that will change the world in the next five years, includes a truly mind-blowing development: The world's smallest computer, smaller than the size of a grain of salt which costs less than 10 cents to manufacture.

Shortly after the news, Mashable's story starting trending on Reddit:

But don't let the size fool you: This sucker has the computing power of the x86 chip from 1990. Okay, so that's not great compared to what we have today, but cut it some slack — you need a microscope to see it. The computer will cost less than ten cents to manufacture, and will also pack "several hundred thousand transistors," according to the company. These will allow it to "monitor, analyze, communicate, and even act on data."

The mini-computers can serve as "crypto anchors" -- tiny computers that can reside within products to help track and prevent fraud, which costs the global economy more than $600 billion year.

Look at this little thing!

5 in 5: Microscopic Robots To Keep The Ocean Clean

The big ticket item on the Think 2018 agenda on Monday is IBM's Research Science Slam, where IBM Researchers will unveil their five predictions for five technologies that will change the world in five years. The session live-streams at 4:30 PM (PT), which you can watch here.

IBM Research Director Arvind Krishna appeared on Fox Business on Monday to explain one of those predictions to host Stuart Varney: AI-powered microscopes that monitor the plankton in the ocean -- streamlining a process that Krishina says takes "hours or days or months after it has already happened" today.

In Krishna's own words:

"Having these tiny microscopes in the ocean, right next to the plankton, observing them, sending the signals up and having AI then monitor what happens gives us much better insight and an ability to better control the water and the oxygen."

Watch the full clip on Fox Business below:

 

Hi Everyone!

My name's Luke, I'm a new IBMer and I have the lucky assignment of live-blogging my way through Think 2018. Think of me as your Think 2018 digital spirit guide (I agree, it does have a nice ring to it). I'll be roaming the grounds here in Las Vegas for the next few days, sharing all the cool things I see along with the latest news coming out of the event, so check back early and often! I'm looking forward to it, and in the meantime, here's a selfie I took with a Watson-powered robot.

IBM Unveils 'Elite' Data Science Team

IBM announced a new data science and machine learning platform and an elite consulting team on Friday designed to help businesses uncover previously unobtainable insights from their data.

A recent MIT report found 85 percent of the 3,000 business leaders surveyed thought AI would enable competitive advantage. However, with the complexity of the task at hand, just 1-in-5 of those surveyed have actually done anything to ready themselves for AI. Rob Thomas, General Manager of IBM Analytics and one of the speakers at Think 2018, says building that "information architecture" will lead to game-changing insights for businesses.

"Whether they are aware of it or not, every company is on a journey to AI as the ultimate driver of business transformation. But for them to get there, they need to put in place an information architecture for collecting, managing and analyzing their data."

Patricia Maqetuka, Nedbank's Chief Data Officer who will speak on two different panels at Think 2018, says IBM's Elite team helped Nedbank "unlock new paradigms".

"More data is available now than has ever been available before and analytical tooling has undergone rapid evolution in order to keep up."
