IBM's Watson will be used to make decisions about cancer care in 14 hospitals 11 years ago
Wouldn't work here in the UK. Watson: "I see you have cancer x - there are three effective drugs for that, but NICE has decided not to pay for them" Patient: "Fucking NHS bean counting cunts" Watson: "Indeed. Now, I have calculated it will cost the NHS a few pennies more between now and your death, what with the doctor, hospital, and terminal care, not to mention the endless drugs and things we will spend to slowly let you die." Patient: "I see, it's like the NHS doesn't have a scoody doo what they are actually doing, how things are spent." Watson: "Indeed".
