Watson was much hyped for Cancer research and it has remarkably failed, there was a news article a long time back. I remember that everyone in my company was like "Watson Watson" but then the AI craze stopped. Good day are back!

There is lots of blame to go around on why that project failed - IBM only shoulders some of it.
