TL;DR. Computing systems that mimic human thought processes for enhanced decision-making, sensing, reasoning, and response.
Technical Definition
Computing systems that mimic human thought processes for enhanced decision-making, sensing, reasoning, and response.
How it works
Cognitive computing aims to create systems that simulate human cognitive abilities like sensing, reasoning, learning, and decision-making. These systems are designed to understand complex data, interact naturally with humans, and improve decision-making processes. The goal is to augment human intelligence rather than replace it.

- Decision Making — Choosing actions or recommendations under uncertainty, often using probabilistic or utility-based reasoning.
- Artificial intelligence (AI) — Machines that can perform tasks typically requiring human intelligence.
