Definition
watsonx is IBM's AI platform, split into three components. watsonx.ai handles foundation models and generative AI. watsonx.data is a hybrid data lakehouse that can sit alongside operational data without a full migration. watsonx.governance covers the compliance, risk, and monitoring layer regulated industries need before an AI project reaches production.
For IBM Power buyers, the relevant detail is that watsonx connects to existing systems, including Db2 for i, through APIs, connectors, and event streams. It does not require the underlying ERP, database, or application layer to be replaced or migrated first.
