IBM’s Watson is kind of a marvel of technological achievements. It’s a computer that is basically programmed to answer questions, only it has years of programming and terabytes of data at its “fingertips” to generate the most accurate response possible. Hell, the little bastard won a million dollars on “Jeopardy!” back in 2011.
Since the upcoming film Morgan is being described by FOX as an “AI horror thriller”, they went to IBM to see if Watson could “watch” the movie and then generate its own trailer. The program responded and put together a final product, which you can watch below. Make sure to stay after the trailer ends as IBM explains exactly how Watson approached this task, which is a rather fascinating piece by itself.

In the film from director Luke Scott, “A corporate risk-management consultant has to decide and determine whether or not to terminate an artificial being’s life that was made in a laboratory environment.”
Morgan stars Kate Mara (“American Horror Story”), Anya Taylor-Joy (The Witch), Rose Leslie, Boyd Holbrook, and Paul Giamatti. Ridley Scott, Michael Schaefer, and Mark Huffam will all be acting as producers.
Morgan comes out this Friday, September 2nd, 2016.
