JEOPARDY

[windjammer]

On Feb. 14,15, & 16th., Brad Rutter, the all time highest dollar winner, Ken Jennings, who has won the most matches, will play against " Watson ", the new super-dooper computer, on Jeopardy.

This should be interesting to watch. Watson will have to understand the voice questions, click faster, etc.

Among other things, Watson may be used, in the near future, to make lighting fast decisions in emergency rooms etc.

Oh great, so now in the ER I will be talking into the same thing that sits in the Drive Thru and McDonalds!

Dr. Watson???
I hope its first name isn't Hal!

Dell will be monitoring the ER versions-

"Please to be telling me where it hurts...."

From the patient's perspective, it won't exactly inspire confidence in the med team if the doc is asking a machine what to do.

The match has already been completed about a week or so ago. I'm not going to post the results but if you want to know the outcome, you can do a Google search.
