"IBM Watson, heal thyself: How IBM overpromised and underdelivered on AI health care"

by Strickland, Eliza (2019)

Abstract

IN 2014, IBM OPENED swanky new headquarters for its artificial intelligence division, known as IBM Watson. Inside the glassy tower in lower Manhattan, IBMers can bring prospective clients and visiting journalists into the "immersion room," which resembles a miniature planetarium. There, in the darkened space, visitors sit on swiveling stools while fancy graphics flash around the curved screens covering the walls. It's the closest you can get, IBMers sometimes say, to being inside Watson's electronic brain.
