COGNITION-AS-A-SERVICE IS THE NEXT OS BATTLEFIELD
Higher intelligence is coming in another form: Cognition-as-a-Service (CaaS). And this
may just be the next evolution of the operating system.
CaaS will enable every app to become as smart as Apple's Siri or Amazon's Echo in its
own niche. CaaS powered apps will be able to think and interact with consumers like intelligent
virtual assistants — they will be “cognitive apps.” You will be able to converse with cognitive
apps, ask them questions, give them commands — and they will be able to help you complete
tasks and manage your work more efficiently.
The key is that the intelligence that powers cognitive apps will come from cloud based
platforms that host their brains — the apps themselves won’t really have to be that smart on
their own.
Everything is going to get smarter. Your phone, your calendar, your watch, your radio,
your TV, your car, your refrigerator, your house, your glasses, your briefcase and clothing. The
vast cognitive capabilities of the global CaaS providers will be cheap and available via APIs to
every device from the nano scale up to the giant global applications and services.
