If they continue to improve AI like no other company, in the long term, it won't matter if they shutter their business consulting services. IBM might be better off betting on research and innovation than cut-throat competition.

Basically, you mean, they preserve their research organization that keeps doing cool things. There has been a recent wave-2 Exodus of IBM researchers to Google NYC; its not clear that they will be able to preserve their ability to make cool advances.
