About IBM Watson-like systems
Hi Mimi Yes, but I'm very concerned about the usage of private AI-blackbox as IBM Watson, in medicine, healthcare and any analytics and decisions regarding people-privacy/private citizens life. Generally speaking there is a huge concern, now underrated, about incoming pervasive presence of artificial intelligence systems in our societies (IBM is along with Google, Amazon and few others big players). Specifically, the problem I see with IBM Watson is that it is a closed product of a private company. There is nothing bad in a pure commercial product approach, but problems arise if this product become spread in public domains, public services (universities, hospitals, etc.). Technically speaking, is not clear to me (and some scientists I interviewed) Watson inside algorithms/mechanics, because it's fully closed; I call this AI-blackbox.
