If you're short on gift ideas this holiday season, IBM's Watson supercomputer might be able to help out.

[...]Enter IBM's Watson supercomputer. Yes, the same AI that won "Jeopardy!" with its cognitive computing abilities.

In theory, the IBM Watson Trend app would take the guesswork out of gift buying and hopefully get you to the store sooner.
IBM says Watson "uses predictive analytics to forecast if a particular trend is a fleeting fad or will continue to remain strong."
