A quote: &quot;KnIT is a collaboration between IBM and Baylor College of Medicine in Houston, Texas. It is the latest step into a weird world where autonomous machines make discoveries that are beyond scientists, simply by rifling more thoroughly through what we already know, and faster than any human can.&quot;<p>This is a great breakthrough. The system should be let loose on psychology papers -- it could read everything published in the last 30 years and conclude, &quot;These people can&#x27;t agree on anything, even the meaning of common terms.&quot;
