SUMMARY
Its not often that 1 in 3 people think your product could spell the end of the human race. Over the course of 5 years we developed an alternative image of AI encouragingthe world to accept and businesses to buy IBMs Watson. From his name and avatar, to his efforts to learn from Bob Dylan or help chefs cook Belgian Bacon Pudding, Watson showed he worked with humans, not against them. At just 5 years old Watson had made enough friends to lift IBMs newrevenues by $900mm YOY.
