IBM reportedly has begun testing artificial intelligence software that mimics the human brain. The MIT Technology Review has reported that IBM is testing algorithms from Numenta, a machine learning company.

IBM is testing the algorithms for tasks such as analyzing satellite imagery and detecting early warning signs of data failures.
