                 World Famous AI Machines

        Some of the world-famous AI-enabled machines are as follows:

           • IBM  Watson:  It  is a  question-answering  machine  that  combines
          artificial  intelligence (AI) and sophisticated analytical software. It
          answers  the questions  posed in natural  languages. Companies
          use it for analysing the data,  predicting the future growth
          prospects and automating some  tedious and complex processes.

                                                       • Google’s Driverless Car: Google launched its Waymo division
                                                       to design, manufacture and market driverless vehicles around
                                                       the world. These cars are AI-enabled cars.
