"Watson will give you the confidence and say: ‘I”m 90 percent sure of this, or I’m only 10 percent sure of this.’ You can immediately see how that is useful in medicine or in finance. The other thing we can do is we can tell the user why is this answer here. What kinds of evidence do we use, what facts did we use, what were we sure about, and what were we not sure about? And were the documents we used from very reliable sources or from less-reliable sources."

"Eighteen percent of GDP in the U.S. is health care, and by some estimates up to $600 billion is wasted. As we dig into cancer we find tens of billions that can be saved just by streamlining care with more accurate and more repeatable procedures just based on things we already know."

"What is thinking? What is intelligence? What is the role that computers should and will play in our lives,
and what are the boundaries between humans and computers? IBM’s Watson demands that we reconsider
each of these questions"

"The challenge for Watson, and more generally for natural-language-processing technologies, is to program computers to do a better job at understanding our language. Computers are not humans. They cannot map words and phrases to human experience and quickly look for the right contextual clues to understand precisely what is intended. All they have are the symbols, not their human meaning."
