Morgan, which hits theaters on September 02, recently debuted a new trailer that turned quite a few heads. If you were impressed, how do you feel after learning that the trailer was created by IBM's vey own A.I., Watson, who previously gained fame by defeating world-class chess champions and even won a few Jeopardy contests? IBM Research and Machine Vision's John Smith recently told
ASmarterPlanet.com about the collaboration. "
Fox approached IBM and they said well we have this movie coming out, it's called Morgan, and it's an A.I. horror thriller, and then what Fox asked was could Watson analyze the movie and generate a trailer automatically, so we thought let's send Watson to film school."
You can see the trailer below and judge Watson's handiwork for yourself.
Chess, then Jeopardy and now film trailers...how long do we have before Watson becomes our robot overlord?
Kate Mara plays Lee Weathers, a corporate Risk Assessment manager who must decide whether to pull the plug on Morgan.
