Empowering the Knowledge Worker with Artificial Intelligence (AI) Deploying IBM Watson at MITRE

Abstract

In the past few years, major advancements in the artificial intelligence (AI) sector have peaked the interest of many companies. In 2019, experts see growing confidence that this smart, predictive technology, bolstered by learnings has picked up in its initial deployments and can be rolled out at a wholesale level across all business operations (Marr, 2019). Many businesses are asking if this is the right time to invest in the technology, and one of them is the MITRE corporation. Our proposal will explore the feasibility of introducing IBM Watson, an AI tool, into the MITRE organization. We will conduct a full analysis of the following areas: Technical, Cyber Risk Analysis, Ethical, Finance and Business Case. This paper will highlight pros and cons of investing in IBM Watson, so that MITRE can make a decision accordingly.
