Can supercomputer beat Jeopardy winners?

Science has fantasized for decades about the ways AI could better society. In sensible terms, AI could change the way such fields as medicine operate. Now the Associated Press reports that "Jeopardy" producers and International Business Machines want to test the facility of a supercomputer in opposition to 2 game show champions. In the event the computer is victorious do you think they will sign up for a cash advance to cover her or him?

Will ‘Jeopardy’ have Ken Jennings and Brad Rutter in it?

The exact same department of International Business Machines that made the software for Deep Blue which is the supercomputer that beat Garry Kasparov who was the chess champion in 1997 could be making an artificial intelligence program called "Watson" which will be playing two games of "Jeopardy" in opposition to the two most successful winners, Ken Jennings and Rutter. There could be three days of machine-versus-man matches that occur in 2011. From February 14-16, they will occur, based on the "Jeopardy" producers. The winner will get a prize. The prize money is $1 million.

Confront is different now

When Deep Blue went up against Garry Kasparov in chess, logical computation was paramount. Man-versus-machine differs with "Jeopardy" though. It will mean comprehension of puns, riddles and rhymes can be needed as well. It can be more about which contestant can use their mind better to figure out the answer instead of just recalling who or what the answer is.

IBM has its money on Watson, named after International Business Machines founder Thomas J. Watson. If Watson is victorious, International Business Machines has stated the prize money will be donated to charity. AP explained that Ken Jennings and Rutter both will donate to charity also. It will only be half the winnings though.

Both Rutter and Jennings made historical past with the game show

In game show history with "Jeopardy," Jennings and Brad Rutter are just a couple of the most successful winners. During the 2004-2005 season of "Jeopardy," Jennings won 74 straight games while about $3.3 million was won by Rutter on the exact same show.
