Overview of IBM Watson on Jeopardy!

This is truly an inspirational and emotional overview of the achievements of the IBM Watson team as it competed on Jeopardy! last week and won the tournament against Ken Jennings and Brad Rutter (two former Jeopardy! top winners).

I’m really fascinated by the work of this IBM team. Watching Watson compete against some of the smartest human brains on Earth and winning really makes me feel like I’m witnessing a true advancement in artificial intelligence. It’s not simply that Watson can find information quickly, it’s the fact that he has somewhat mastered the complex English language and understands it enough to ring out answers to not-so-simple Jeopardy! questions (or rather, answers).

If you missed the whole Watson ordeal from last week, watch the video above to get caught up!
