IBM spent more than a decade trying to make a go of Watson Health, its moonshot to apply artificial intelligence in healthcare. Watson was supposed to revolutionize everything ... Now, after billions invested and a series of high-profile setbacks, the company is effectively selling Watson for parts to [a] private equity firm ...

I think he means selling Watson/Healthcare Division, not Watson in totality. On the other hand, Watson may be a bust generally. News articles mention an application to help with traffic jams and power grid problems ... maybe there's hope.
