Humans vs. Computers

Tonight on Jeopardy! a computer (named Watson) will be competing against two of the greatest players in history, 74-game champion Ken Jennings & all-time biggest money winner Brad Rutter.

Watson uses algorithms to, "Answer with speed, accuracy and confidence. The Jeopardy! format provides the ultimate challenge because the game's clues involve analyzing subtle meaning, irony, riddles, and other complexities in which humans excel and computers."

The games will be played today, tomorrow (Feb. 15th), & Wednesday (Feb. 15h).
