Watson Races to the Cloud

Watson, the Jeopardy-winning supercomputer developed by IBM, could become a cloud-based service that people can consult on a wide range of issues, IBM announced yesterday.

In addition to improving Watson's machine-learning capabilities to increase the range of options the system gives clinicians - including nuancing these to cater for patient preferences, such as choosing chemotherapy that does not cause hair loss, for instance - the race is now on at IBM to make the system far more widely available.

"Watson is going to be an advisor and an assistant to all kinds of professional decision-makers, starting in healthcare and then moving beyond. We're already looking at a role for Watson in financial services and in other applications," says John Gordon, Watson Solutions Marketing Manager at IBM in New York.
