How IBM Watson is using AI technology in the health field

At last year's Business Insider IGNITION conference, David Kenny, the general manager of IBM's Watson division, discussed the AI project. According to Kenny, Watson is most advanced in the health field. "The University of Tokyo ran her genetic sequence through Watson," which found a second strain of leukemia, Kenny said. "They then treated her, and now she's healthy." "About one-third of the time, Watson is proposing an additional diagnosis," Kenny said.
