Presentation outline: Consequences of the creation of IBM Watson

May 18, 2017   , , , , ,
Presentation preparation outline for Consequences of the creation of IBM Watson.

  • Specific Purpose: To inform the audience about the new supercomputer, its abilities, and possible consequences of its creation in the future.
  • Central Idea: IBM Watson is a first successfully working developed artificial intelligence, which can cause a lot of changes in the future, due to the fact that some jobs can become obsolete.


I. INTRODUCTION

  1. (Attention getter) Computers have been around us for more than 60 years, but only now we begin to understand the actual abilities that they have. Science fiction ideas and dreams that were expressed in numerous movies and books about an almighty artificial intelligence which controls the world can soon become partly true.
  2. (Establish Credibility)  I have been studying computer science for over 5 years, mainly concentrating on the supercomputer computations and artificial intelligence.
  3. (Relevancy Statement) Our generation will face with a lot of changes due to massive computerization. Therefore, you must know what to expect and to react appropriately.
  4. (Preview of main points) Today I am going to tell you all about the IBM Watson and two of its implications in real life.

(Transition) Let’s start with what IBM Watson is and why it is such a big deal.
II. MAIN POINT 1 IBM Watson is a new type of a computer program which uses a radically new type of computing, different from the programmable systems that preceded it.

(Internal preview of SPs) - I’ll begin by explaining the focus of conventional programs, differences between the IBM Watson and conventional programs, and give a few examples of tasks and programs which Watson will solve faster and easier.

  1. Conventional programs
    1. IBM Watson
    2. Text analysis (able to read, but not able to understand)
  2. IBM Watson
    1. Cognitive computing
    2. Jeopardy!
    3. Goal (structure information, finds hidden patterns)
  3. Examples of programs
    1. Diagnosing tool
    2. Retirement portfolio advisor
    3. Cooking chef
(Internal summary of SPs) Well, I’ve told you the very basics of IBM Watson and how it differ from conventional style systems,  and what type of tasks it can accomplish.

(Transition) Once you got an idea of what IBM Watson is, you can think about how it will affect our daily lives in the future.
IIll. MAIN POINT 2 Main effects of IBM Watson will be in the sphere of healthcare, the area, that IBM is particularly interested in.

(Internal Preview of SPs) Let me turn now to describing the capabilities of Watson and implications of its creation in healthcare.

  1. Applications of Watson
    1. Clinical Decision Support Systems
    2. Lung cancer specialist
      1. Studied medicine
      2. A change in the size -> larger affordability
  2. Results
    1. 90% correct
    2. Doesn’t take over yet
    3. 3 years in Anderson Cancer Center
      1. Problem with published articles
  3. Future of healthcare
    1. Shattering of the economics
    2. Future ways of development

(Internal Summary of SPs) - Well, I have told you about some applications, results, and the effects that IBM Watson can cause in healthcare in the near future.
 
(Transition) Next, I will take a look at applications and plans of Watson in business. Nowadays, business is the topic that people are the most interested in. As a consequence of that and the fact that there are so many businessmen and businesses, effects of Watson in this area will be of the most importance for you to survive in this highly competitive world.

IV. MAIN POINT 3 - One of main areas of concentration for IBM company is the business sector, in which Watson already strongly holds a position with a lot of customers.

(Internal preview of SPs) I’d like now to discuss the goals of IBM in business and types of projects that Watson will solve with a great ease.

  1. The goal of IBM
    1. Create working environment
    2. Embedded helping system
    3. The main purpose of the system
  2. Ability to create private projects with the use of Watson
    1. Chef Watson
    2. Shop helper
                                                 
(Internal summary of SPs)  That’s all I have to say about the goals, effects, and abilities of Watson in business. Now you can see that IBM is really concerned about commercial usage of their project.
(Transition) Now you have heard what I think about the effects of Watson on healthcare and business, and understand that it’s very important to analyze current researches and trends in order to predict the direction of the world economics in future.

V. CONCLUSION

  1. (Summary statement). Finally, let me remind you of some of the issues I have covered. First, IBM Watson is a new type of computer system that can actually think and understand. Second, it has a lot of applications and implications, but two of the main areas that will be affected are healthcare and business. Maybe not in the nearest future, but there will be a time when Watson-like systems will cause regular doctors’ jobs to become obsolete. Moreover, a lot of other jobs will be obsolete as well due to the automatization. Therefore, it is very important to keep track of current researches and learn new technologies, which sometimes can be very challenging…
  2. (Memorable Closing Statement)  ...but “Success is the sum of small efforts, repeated day in and day out.”
