Announcing the IBM Watson AI Lab for Cancer | Thomas Anglero

Oh, hello, love it. Modelle, media publishing and technology. So we're coming full circle. Field fella, he, um, in, um, in all forms, he can practice as field fella, but he certainly felt the same way I did for tutti fine, team affinity, team spirit, yeah, that's great. Mohar, this is to me, it's self-will. To say this, first of all, I like it, it's self-confidence to go live, yeah. It's someone like, I don't care, self-confident. The other thing he does, you know, to me, again, like, so hard, it's self-confident, man, you get, you come live, I don't care, some part of them, those are the passion, you know, to go live. Then this will be registered in the credit process. Before that, the team, so training platform, Facebook, they have a platform, Google have a platform, and the platform, Bökes, for the daily information, ütrechtly information, mainly Bökes, Interceptor, from Ü, for friends in the field, or in the wilderness. This is a gift from Blue X, a historical monument in the Gipfelsäule, to honor the brave here. So man can tie a rope and pull from here up in here. That's the real mountain. So that's how it starts, and then you can see the first scratch higher than the main peak of the mountain. So you can hear the wind, the septic sound, and the water, the near water, and now we are in the stream. Before I take you into my project, I'd like to tell you a little bit about SAP and the time we are experiencing now. So, SAP, SAP, the industry cloud platform, so cloud platforms are a domain that are specific for an industry and a sector. Uh, got the same people there. I almost say it is in Kaiserslautern, but it's in Liverpool. Cloud Foundry, so let me speak normal. Cloud Foundry are an open source platform, so Bluemix are the same. Dafür nur wissen, ob man Bluemix noch behalten, um Bluemix auf Full Standalone Open with harsh law, hence the sector is young and blossoming up and so forth. So, coming ahead, we deploy a new VAS to our hangar this summer, share more in a little bit, and etablier an industry cloud platform for hence specific performance of the new generation units. So, maybe cloud, right? And mostly a concept, an idea, a token of Bluemix. Bluemix is this one technology in this, so it's called big data innovation first of all. It's an enhanced service, big data, etc., enhanced service to my project, right? Etwas beschäftigen, sondern es kommt früher diskutiert, abgelegt, kommt, ich fände es top, da werden wir im Sommer die Erinnerung, was hier dort für ein Typ Technologie ist, und wir erließen das für das Land. Ideen von Mary-Clare Obsthusen, die so viel tun in Diskussionen, und ein großes Gespräch noch, heißt es erst. September, a group expecting him, and a more independent, open approach, open innovation system, summer-wide, daily, possibly in the summer, maybe closer to September. One day in previous projects, when we have this kind of a discussion, kind of an offer, in a parliament in the Portuguese, some conflicting administrations couldn't demonstrate or agree on an innovation model.— und erfahren den Piloten, den Experimenteleuten auf diesem Markt, wie kommen wir denn bei Ihnen, was sind derartige Souvenirs, wie kann man denn so etwas so mitnehmen, wie kommt man dorthin, wie ist die Technologie da eigentlich erweitert, haben die Glück, solche Höhe, die besitzen, zum Pilotenteam So, Tom Gennaga had many clients on Q7, we are now implementing it, we are etabliert, we are serious about natural resources, and we are not tired of pushing the green drift. This is called the circle of historical career. We came to stop, now all those things we are going to have to do to set up startups, now I'm the startup business owner, I'm the steering wheel.— So that's all I think, you know, technology for technology machine. The Bluetooth technology for the year, 10 semesters, may have installed in our car more knowledge from our studio, utilize Glaub ich, für Männer. Nein, ich glaube, es ist mehr ein Glaubensproblem. Wir sind auch fokussiert auf die ganzen Details und ob es toll läuft oder wie sehr feiern wir, wenn wir sehr feiern, oder ob es uns gefällt, dieses Programm. Ich denke, die Technologie kommt nie nach dem Layout. Was soll ich dir gerne noch aufschlüsseln? Wir haben ja jetzt einen schönen Raum. Ist das so ein Sound, oder? Das ist ja fantastisch. No, we could have tried and come up with ideas and we get, you know, all the interests before. Yeah, we get all the interests before and try to bring the new idea, at least to come up with the solution for us, you know, that's the format. So scope of the market, so, so cool, man. You know, we should have asked the same. So in the scope of the market, when Apple's pushing someone Okay, Luke, don't go anywhere.

Stay with me. So you stand over here. Can you guys see Luke? Women, does he look cute? Women, does he look cute? Yes. Do you feel better? So the reason why I have us both up here is that when you think Watson, how do I engage Watson? Who do I talk to in IBM? I want to personalize IBM. And when it comes to Watson, Watson's my baby, I'm responsible for Watson, but I always bring pretty boy Luke. Luke and I, the best thing that ever happens in meetings, and this is not a joke, it's actual fact, is that when we come to a meeting, when you have an idea what we do, da da da, do we not disagree 99% of the time?

Yes.

Every joke. Every joke. But isn't it great? I mean, how many times when you speak to a big company, IBM, Microsoft, Google, they come and they have this set, you know, traditional presentation and then they all agree upon this strategy in which they're going to give you and sell you something. Yes or no? Yes or no? Isn't it great if you actually have the same people from the same company disagreeing and arguing about what's the best idea for you? See the twist on the reality of the new way of doing business? Got it? It breaks the old rules, but it's actually the Watson way. There is no one way. The best way is to bring the best people to you for you. All right, Luke? Ladies, one last look at Luke. Everybody happy? Thank you. Luke's wife is going to be so pissed off at me. All right, I am the final presenter. And I've been thinking really, really hard. Should I do a product pitch right now? Yes or no?

Yes.

All right, sorry. Yes, no, or hell no?

Hell no.

Hell no is the answer. I don't do product pitches. What I want to do, I want to summarize the whole day and then I'm going to end it with a huge surprise. Everybody like surprises?

Yes!

Cool. Here we go. You ready? Product pitch or no? Yes or no? Last chance.

No!

Hell no. Now you know why I take Luke everywhere, right?

Alrighty.

Is this a beautiful slide? Anybody want that background? Isn't that great? Yeah, I said, "For the eye." Real quick, what is Watson? If we didn't make it clear today. So Watson, 4 years ago, if we go back even further than that, IBM, the traditional IT company, we made some of the world's fastest servers and hardware and computers. We were in the race of, "Mine's as fast as yours." Right? And so we always had the world's fastest mainframe. If we didn't have it on a Friday, we definitely had it by Monday. And then we have 14,000 PhDs writing code, writing algorithms to simulate the human brain. And by the way, we have 7,000 patents issued every year. And if you do the math, we get 20 patents awarded every single day, including Saturday and Sunday. Are we a nerdy company or what? That's IBM. So what we said is, okay, we have algorithms, we have software that simulates the human brain, we have the world's fastest computer, we put it together, we created Watson. And then with Watson we said, okay, we have this incredible thing, what problem are we going to solve? What problem would you solve with all this power? What would you do? And the cute girl in row number 3 is right. We said, "Let's cure cancer." So that's what we did, and that's what we started 4 years ago. And 4 years ago, we partnered with Memorial Sloan-Kettering, one of the largest and best and most recognized cancer hospitals in the US, and they helped us to make our product. This is my baby product pitch. You know, our solution for oncology. And we're looking at specifically working with 3 particular cancers. Okay? Breast, lung, breast, and colorectal cancer. Those are the 3 that we're focusing on, and we're expanding it more and more and more. We had a wonderful presentation today with Dr. Eun-Lim looking at genomics. Wasn't that— wasn't it interesting to look at yourself at a genomic level? You guys in the young row, you're like, "What the hell is he talking about?" This is what you're supposed to get in 6th, not 1st. Hint, hint, hint. Alright? And so our WASI genomics platform is also here in Norway, and we're working with Big Med Project and all those partners So Watson's here from a genomics point of view. Watson's here from an oncology point of view. Everything we talked about today wasn't hype. It's here, it's here, and it's on the 5th floor. That empty space you saw is where Watson, baby Watson, who's 4 years old, is going to grow up. And this whole event is about you guys telling us how to grow with you. How to grow in Norway. I'm dead serious. It's a baby. Is your opportunity. Where should we focus our energy? Where should Luke and I spend our time to help Norway the best? Your patients the best, you the best. When's the last time, or have you ever heard a company as big as IBM have such a personal statement? I bet you never have. Welcome to the world of Watson. This is how we do Watson in Norway. It's very personal because we're trying to cure cancer, and there's nothing more personal than that. Am I right?

Yes.

Am I right?

Yes.

There you go. So I hate slides. I never use slides. I'm very uncomfortable turning my head. I hope you don't mind. The last thing I want to emphasize is one of the reasons why we chose the Oslo Cancer Cluster versus all these hubs— we're a tech company. We could have went to Forskning Parken. We could have went downtown. I think there's another one called MESH. We're going to join all these startup hubs. The reason why we want to be here at the Oslo Cancer Cluster is because you're here. Clinicians are here. We're 50 meters from Radim Hospital. We have Big Med, which we're already invited and part of. We want to be in the environment where you are. We're already there. So instead of, you know, this— it costs us nothing to become a member of every hub. It's just a check, or sorry, credit card, or a VIP with a mobile phone, right? Something, right? It costs nothing to become a member, but we're all in, and we believe the Oslo Cancer Cluster is where we begin. And I'm dead serious, we want you guys to grow with us. Now here's the last thing, and I think this is the most important. Do you guys care about whether or not Watson speaks Norwegian? Is this important, or should I skip that part of my presentation? Wow, nobody said a damn thing. Is my Norwegian okay, Kenneth? That's why I don't speak Norwegian. Long story. Ladies and gentlemen— oh, I have to do this in English. It messes up with my head. Watson is on his way— its way, sorry, it's not a he or she, sorry— its way to being Norwegian. Now, how many people are are from Tromsø or north of Tromsø? Raise your hand. Anybody?

Whew.

Okay, so then we all understand each other then, right? My point is this. Norwegian is very complicated. I'm proof of that. The dialects are extremely strange. I have a neighbor from Bergen. I know you're from Bergen, a friend of mine. And when people from Bergen speak to people from Oslo, You laugh at each other, not out loud, but inside you're like, "Eggesump?" Right? And then when you meet people from Tromsø, I swear to you, I was at a party in Tromsø, everybody from Oslo said, "Vi mobbitt over the engels," because I don't understand what the hell you're talking about. Right? Norwegian is very, very difficult. So for Watson to learn Norwegian, it is very, very complicated. It takes a very, very long time. It is quite expensive because it is truly difficult. But we have cracked the nut on teaching Watson how to read Norwegian. And it's happening here in this building. It's happening here in this front row. Are you guys curious what the hell I'm talking about? Yes, no?

Yes.

What we said was— what I said was, I got pissed. A lot of big companies talk a lot of talk, blah, blah, blah, but what are they actually doing? We said, look, another reason why we came to Oslo Cancer Cluster was UNRWA, MedigrånsUNRWA, is here. Why don't we partner with UNRWA? Why don't we do something real with UNRWA? Did that sound funny? Should I go over to Marshall? Nobody likes uLearn? What?

No?

Can you tell me about this? Where'd I mess up? I don't know where I messed up. Somebody help me. So what we've done is— well, let me show you what we've done. With the 14 students who are going— who have started already. This is not in the future. This has already begun. Who are now teaching Watson how to read Norwegian, would you please come up? And fellas, the ladies better be first or I'll kill you. This is our last surprise. I want you to meet— come on up. A lot of corporations talk about, hey, let's work with schools, let's do this, do that. Well, we were a little bit innovative. Slide down, slide down, slide down. You can have the clicker, Mark. Here you go. So we at IBM, we're a little bit different, especially when it comes to Watson. We said, why don't we work with Google Learn, the students of Google Learn, these first-to-class students, and have them teach Watson how to read Norwegian. That's where we begin. Here they are, ladies and gentlemen. Alright, so this is not talk. This is real. They're teaching— dead? What? Bin Laden, Watson, Notch. You guys know them? And they began this project a couple of weeks ago. So it's already begun. So our partnership with Uran Vegas is long-term. And we'll have more projects, Watson-related, non-Watson-related. This is serious. This is real. And it's a lot of fun. So the last thing I'd like to do, I'd like to invite all the speakers who were here today, if you're still here, would you come up on stage? Stage, please. Come on up, all these attractive men. Next time we have an event, we'll have attractive women, I promise. Do we have enough space? Dog, come on, slide over, slide over. In Norwegian, you call this kline, like awkward, right?

Okay.

Oh, Arne is back. There we go, my man. Ladies and gentlemen, I'd like to present to you Team Watson. Here we go. Thank you very much for today, and kep tjo from Oslo Cancer— don't go anywhere, Doug. I know you got a date from today. Uh, there is another party. The Oslo Cancer Cluster is having their summer party in a half an hour. I'm not kidding you. Right here in this same auditorium. So it runs for the rest of the afternoon, correct? Uh, they'll have ping pong, they'll have barbecue, they'll have guys with a lot of muscles. Well, with all that stuff, yes. So their summer party starts in half an hour. So if you want to continue having a wonderful time, go to the— go padu, come to bakkes, peace and med. Thank you very much today.

Bye-bye. Good, good. Good, good.

It's good. It's good.
