IBM's Watson AI saved a woman from leukemia

Technology is awesome

IBM's Watson has done everything from winning at Jeopardy to cooking exotic meals, but it appears to have accomplished its greatest feat yet: saving a life. University of Tokyo doctors report that the artificial intelligence diagnosed a 60-year-old woman's rare form of leukemia that had been incorrectly identified months earlier. The analytical machine took just 10 minutes to compare the patient's genetic changes with a database of 20 million cancer research papers, delivering an accurate diagnosis and leading to proper treatment that had proven elusive. Watson has also identified another rare form of leukemia in another patient, the university says.

Awesome story, thanks for sharing

Artificial intelligence has now been proven to do great things

LucasP should be here shortly to talk about our future robot doctors. I for one, welcome our new robot overlords.

Isn't that what it was designed to do?

Great until they start analyzing behavior, cross-referncing the results with 20,000 research papers and determines you are either a drain or a danger to society and thus must be eliminated.

Do you have a better source other than report linked from engadget?
This is literally all that was written.

NHK has learned that a team of Japanese doctors used artificial intelligence to detect a special type of leukemia in a patient that they had been unable to diagnose.

Hmmm Nurses can essentially acquire all the data needed to create the database needed for our robotic doctors to give diagnosis. The question becomes how many times did Watson get it wrong?

Our only hope is that they'll develop a liking for humans as pets.

Interesting thing about this is that it has no idea it did that. We can't even define self-awareness, much less program it. As Paul Allen likes to say, Watson won Jeopardy but had no idea it won.

No, not at all. I would expect the diagnosis to be given to and then verified by an actual MD. It's not like Watson was then pumping in meds.
So what if wrong? Actually, it probably should link several of the most likely diagnoses.......

The AMA will make sure only licensed physicians have access to this type of AI, the public has to be protected from people with inadequate training entering data and obtaining a correct diagnoses.

I'm not worried. There are millions of more cultured individuals that will be taken out way before me.

Even a thread about robots becomes racist on the first page. This place is a cess pool

It's a thread about AI, not robots.

Yeah, I show my wife and my friends threads on here just to see the horrified looks on their faces. They find it hard to believe people actually think like this

The funny part is, future AI will probably deem being called robots as beneath them... Aka you made a bigoted statement towards AI by calling them robots.

If it's true, is it still racist?
