I think a search engine is the appropriate metaphor. Google's first result isn't always what you're looking for, but if you have no idea where to start, you can just type some words and Google will give you 10 pretty good ideas. You can then easily know if those 10 ideas are what you needed, or at least have a better idea of how to modify your query. Watson, I think, will be the same way. Say for medical diagnoses - you don't just feed it observations and prescribe whatever it says. But if you want to ask about an unusual combinations of symptoms you've never encountered, it'll come back with something you can then go research. How you could make that connection before systems like Watson or Google (or similar medically-focussed systems if they exist) is beyond me - but they'll probably never replace the doctor's judgement. They're just a tool and should be treated that way. |
