Watson gets a real job

"Watson made its debut on Jeopardy earlier this year, where it stomped the two greatest players the game show has ever seen. One of the cutting-edge capabilities of the supercomputer is that it can understand and analyze near-conversational English, then provide a logical response. In the future, Watson could be listening in as patients tell doctors what their problem is, then help the doctor to diagnose the patient."


WellPoint wants to deploy Watson to help diagnose complex chronic conditions.
