Watson to save lives

With only 6% of medical schools' graduates to target for "saving people", the disease curing of future generations is at stake. In January's IEEE Spectrum, it has "IBM's Watson Goes to Med School". Watson had a hyped victory in 2/2011 TV show of "Jeopardy" by beating its top two human competitors. Watson is now "learning" from the top oncologists in the Memorial Sloan-Kettering Cancer Center. In the future, if your doctor cannot diagnose or decide the treatment plan for your cancer disease, he or she may "ask" Watson. It is because Watson can process natural language and has the know-it-all database learned from the top-notch oncologists.
