Computers Beat Human Brain

Watson, the super
computer made by IBM managed
to beat the man in a game that
tests of intelligence. Wow!

In a quiz game popular in the
United States (USA), Jeopardy,
Watson lead after successfully
kicking the winner of the previous
edition of Jeopardy, Ken Jennings
and Brad Rutter.

Reported by the Times of India,
Sunday (16/01/2011), Watson
considered significant victory for
the quiz game involving non-linear
thinking and questions in natural
language where computers lag
behind men in
such capabilities.

"After four years, our scientific
team believes that Watson is ready
with challenges such as the
Jeopardy quiz show," said David
Ferrucci as the scientist who led the
research team that developed IBM's
Watson.

The game takes place in an IBM
computer labs that are decorated
just like the studio where the quiz
is usually held. Thanks to his
intelligence, Watson have won U.S.

Jennings and Rutter, who became
champion two-and three each got
USD 3400 and USD 1,200.
