#WR: About “IBM Has a Watson Dilemma”, the writers started the story with the question: “Can Watson cure cancer?” For me, this question is wrong. Watson is an AI platform, a “tool” to help professionals like medical doctors, but it is not the God of medical doctors. #AI, #IBM

#WR: The “tools” like Watson can help to human professionals in different disciplines. But the “tools” need data that come from human beings and give information that give to the human beings; in this case, the medical doctors. #artificial_intelligence #AI #IBM

#WR: In addition, like the human intelligence, the AI can learn to solve problems through mistakes and new efforts. And this is the valuable merit of #Watson and the IBM team researching to improve this tool more and more. The intelligence artificial is till now in a first stage.

#WR: The wrong point of view of “IBM Has a Watson Dilemma” posted by @WSJ is to believe that because IBM has invested $15 billion in Watson Healthcare, the results have to be immediate. AI is not God, and also God is not the magic spirit that we frequent expect. #AI, #IBM

#WR: The flight of the airplane stolen was short. According to @Reuters the robber “flew for about one hour, often erratically, before crashing on Ketron Island in Puget Sound, about 25 miles (40 km) to the southwest.” Apparently, US fighter jets pushed him away populated areas.
