CNBC:
Silicon Valley’s most powerful imagination belongs to a very powerful CEO.
That’s according to recent data from job search firm Paysa, which used IBM’s supercomputer Watson to determine that Apple CEO Tim Cook is the tech industry’s “most imaginative” leader. Cook is followed by Amazon’s Jeff Bezos, Oracle’s Larry Ellison and Cisco’s Chuck Robbins.
How they reached this conclusion:
To arrive at these results, Paysa fed “speeches, essays, books, the transcripts of interviews and other forms of communication produced by those highlighted above”— over 2,500 words — through the Watson Personality Insights API.
And here’s a link to IBM’s official Personality Insights API portal, if you want to play with this a bit yourself.
Congratulations to the speech writers and PR handlers of all those listed!!
Is this something someone should be proud of–a computer (which has no imagination) determining which human being is the most imaginative? Or were they trying to find yet another extreme way to demonstrate irony? Seriously?
