I never claimed Watson had anything beyond a superficial understanding, nor did I claim it was somehow generally intelligent.<p>My sole point was that it&#x27;s a state-of-the-art AI project that utilizes deep learning, and its primary specialization is neither vision nor speech&#x2F;NLP.<p>&gt;<i>... or using it on anything other than Jeopardy style questions.</i><p>Given how many verticals IBM is building Watson for, they would likely disagree strongly with that statement.
