IBM purchased for a large sum (which was not made public) the company Cognea of Greek-Australian Yannis Zakos, inventor of MyCyberTwin (My Other Self).
The Greek inventor and scientist, who is considered a "wizard of IT", in statements to "Neos Kosmos", expressed his excitement about this development.
"A small, high-tech company from Australia is making its presence felt on the global stage.".
"Through IBM, I know that our vision for AI will become a reality and impact humanity in so many wonderful ways. A new chapter is just beginning," he said.
For its part, IBM states in a statement: "Cognea has succeeded in developing a communicative artificial intelligence computer. This discovery focuses on creating deep personality, and when combined with an understanding of the personality of users, it will create a new level of communication that will be far ahead of the "talking" smartphones we have known so far. We therefore welcome to IBM the founders of Cognea, Liesl Capper and John Zakos.".
Of particular interest is the statement of the IBM representative regarding the acquisition of Yannis Zakos' company: "We are particularly interested in the fact that Cognea's system enables its assistants (robots) to adopt a personality that will suit each case. That is, they can behave as normal business partners, or as friendly neighbors.".
