IBM Advances 'Watson Anywhere' with New Clients and Innovations Designed to Make it Even Easier to Scale AI Across Any Cloud
ARMONK, N.Y., Oct. 21, 2019 /PRNewswire/ -- Recognizing that organizations are slow to adopt AI, due in part to rising data complexities, IBM (NYSE: IBM) today announced new innovations that further advance its Watson Anywhere approach to scaling AI across any cloud, and a host of clients who are leveraging the strategy to bring AI to their data, wherever it resides. "We collaborate with clients every day and around the world on their data and AI challenges, and this year we tackled one of the big drawbacks to scaling AI throughout the enterprise – vendor lock-in," said Rob Thomas, General Manager, IBM Data and AI.

Blockchain For Fishing Scallops To Help Reduce Food Fraud
The IBM Food Trust platform signed a partnership with Raw Seafoods on October 17, bringing in blockchain-based traceability possibilities to the seafood supply chain that includes stakeholders like fisheries, distributors, retailers and restaurateurs. Earlier this year, a study by ocean-protection foundation Oceana found that one in every five seafood products tested were mislabeled – making 20% of all seafood in the supply chain at any given moment fraudulent. In this context, the IBM Food Trust's association with Raw Seafoods will help digitalize the supply chain for scallops sourced from the Atlantic Sea Scallop Fishery.

IBM stock drops after UBS downgrade
UBS analyst Munjal Shah cut his rating on International Business Machines Corp. shares to neutral from buy on Monday, writing that he believes it will be hard for the company to sustainably reach mid-single-digit revenue growth. For next year, he argues that challenges for IBM's legacy businesses will "somewhat offset" the growth that stems from the beginning of the mainframe cycle as well as IBM's recently completed Red Hat deal. "The following year (2021) should be even more challenging with greater revenue pressure due to tough Year 2 mainframe compare and lower incremental Red Hat contribution," Shah wrote. He lowered his target price to $140 from $170 on the stock, which is off 0.7% in premarket trading Monday. The stock has shed 10% over the past three months, as the Dow Jones Industrial Average has fallen 1.4%.

IBM Won't Be Able to Sustain Mid-Single Digit Growth, Says Bearish UBS Note
IBM was falling Monday after analysts at UBS lowered their price target on the stock to $140 from $170 a share on concerns about the company's growth prospects. The new price target represents only a slight 4% upside from the stock's previous closing price of $134.09. Analyst Munjal Shah forecasts the company's legacy tech businesses will have negative pressure in 2020, with 2021 being even more challenging for the segment as the returns from the company's acquisition of Red Hat become incrementally weaker.

Amazon Stock Emerges as a Great Way To Play AI (Artificial Intelligence)
One of the key reasons Amazon (NASDAQ:AMZN) stock is one of the most valuable on Wall Street -- with a market cap of $884 billion -- is that the company is willing to take bold initiatives. True, sometimes things fall short, as seen with the move into the smartphone business.Source: Zapp2Photo / Shutterstock.com But for the most part, CEO Jeff Bezos has been able to make the right strategic decisions and deploy resources in a disciplined way. Perhaps the best example of this is AWS (Amazon Web Services). Without this, AMZN stock would likely have a much lower valuation today.The irony is that the company was not the ideal player to be the winner in the cloud. It should have been from a tech operator like Microsoft (NASDAQ:MSFT), Oracle (NYSE:ORCL) or IBM (NYSE:IBM). These companies had the advantages of large enterprise customer bases as well as strong infrastructures and trusted brands.InvestorPlace - Stock Market News, Stock Advice & Trading Tips AWS Enables Aggressive InvestmentsBezos saw that the cloud was the future of business software. Customers would greatly benefit from the access to a wide assortment of services at a low price. There would also be no need to pay for the hardware, servers and other technologies.The result is that AWS has become a juggernaut, making Amazon the cloud's force to be reckoned with in the 1 position. In the latest quarter, revenues from the business jumped by 49% to $8.38 billion or a run-rate of more than $33 billion. The high operating income from the cloud has also made it possible for Amazon to aggressively invest in other opportunities, such as health care, delivery and online advertising.OK then, so what's next? Can there be another AWS that will continue to power AMZN stock? Well, I think so. And it's AI (Artificial Intelligence). AI Powered Amazon's Original Book RecommendationsKeep in mind that this technology has been a part of the company's focus since its early days. A form of AI was essential for creating the recommendation system for the original online bookstore, which helped propel sales. * 10 Hot Stocks Staging Huge Reversals But of course, the company has continued to push innovation. In fact, a big part of this has been leveraging the huge AWS customer base. To this end, AMZN has been adding sophisticated AI features, including developing a system called SageMaker that makes it easier to create sophisticated models.Yet the most notable example of AMZN's AI is Alexa. Since the launch of this platform five years ago, there have been over 100 million devices shipped. There has also emerged a powerful ecosystem of developers, who have created more than 80,000 skills.According to Chris Nicholson, CEO and founder of Skymind, an AI infrastructure developer, in an email interview: "Amazon is to the smart home what Tesla is to smart cars. It has more devices being used out in the world than any one else, and that gives it a huge advantage in the amount of data it can gather and use to train its AI. Amazon made a play for the home with Alexa and Ring, and it dominates that space like Microsoft used to dominate operating systems." * 7 Dividend Stocks to Buy (With Brands You Can Find In Your Kitchen) The big play for Alexa is as next-generation e-commerce platform. It's all part of something known as conversational commerce. And it is likely to be a massive market. According to OC&C Strategy Consultants, the spending is forecast to reach $40 billion by 2022 in the U.S. Bottom Line On Amazon StockIt's true that there is lots of hype with AI. Many companies are jumping on the bandwagon so as to get funding. Investors looking for a play in the AI space shouldn't overlook Amazon stock.In artificial intelligence, Amazon.com is the real deal. More importantly, it has the massive platform -- with huge amounts of data -- to be highly competitive in this category. And as seen with AWS, the company knows how to monetize technologies. Thus, when looking for a solid play on AI, AMZN stock is certainly a solid choice.Tom Taulli is the author of the book, Artificial Intelligence Basics: A Non-Technical Introduction.
