IBM Watson has been announced as the latest guest of the 2018 Grammy's and will be running Watson Media to ensure the event runs smoothly. For the 60th anniversary of the music awards, the Recording Academy has partnered with IBM to bring the AI to the red carpet. Watson Media isn't just going as a guest, but instead will be deployed to analyze videos and photos of attendees as they arrive to the ceremony. The goal of this partnership is to further Watson's AI through analyzing fashion trends and music trends. Watson will also play an pivotal role in the streamlining of Grammy productions and will help better the flow of content over TV, social media and all digital platforms.
