> All of us would have been diagnosed properly if Watson was being used on the doctors office, using its data crunching capabilities and symptoms as input to find out what problem we had. No, unfortunately, I don't think there's any basis to believe that you could have been diagnosed properly by "Watson". Maybe by better data management in medicine. Not by an IBM brand name. From the article: > “Why confuse people and make them think it’s going to find something that a physician couldn’t possibly find?... Then you’ve moved into what strikes me as unethical territory when you’re potentially giving hope to people who should never have placed hope in that kind of a system because it’s not a magical box that does that stuff.”
