IBM Watson Reportedly Recommended Cancer Treatments That Were 'Unsafe
and Incorrect'
https://gizmodo.com/ibm-watson-reportedly-recommended-cancer-treatments-tha-1827868882
Internal company documents from IBM show that medical experts
working with the company's Watson supercomputer found
"multiple examples of unsafe and incorrect treatment
recommendations" when using the software, according to a
report from Stat News. Stat reviewed documents that were
included in two presentations given in June and July 2017 by
IBM Watson's former deputy health chief Andrew Norden. The
documents were reportedly shared with IBM Watson Health
management. According to Stat, those documents provided
strong criticism of the Watson for Oncology system, and stated
that the "often inaccurate" suggestions made by the product
bring up "serious questions about the process for building
content and the underlying technology."
