Yeah seems pretty damning, at least for that effort given how much money was spent. Perhaps not damning Watson's capacity, but without a good integration strategy you can have the best AI on the planet and it'll be a race car without any gas.
From the article: "He also added IBM "wasn't responsible" for integrating Watson with MD Anderson's new electronic medical records."
Also: "The way medical information is stored and labeled can differ widely, even between departments at the same institution, he said. For instance, "there's no standard way to record a heart rate, a blood-glucose value or temperature measured at the bedside," he said. If the way data is stored or labeled changes, often the artificial-intelligence software must be retrained, he said. "
All valid complaints, but clearly IBM failed to properly consider the implementation challenges. That's never a good thing from a business perspective.
