Supercomputer On 'Jeopardy'

Friday, May 1, 2009

IBM, the company that built master chess computer Deep Blue, is working on a new machine that developers hope can participate in Jeopardy. What do you think?

Amanda Albert,
Systems Analyst
"That's stupid. The only reason to watch Jeopardy is to see how people write out their names."

Mike Kuban,
Dog Walker
"Yes! It's gonna work, and those IBM guys will be laughing all the way to the bank with their Jeopardy winnings."

Kevin Hicks,
Rail Inspector
"Winning at chess and Jeopardy is all well and good, but I’ll be impressed when a computer can beat the Philadelphia Eagles—in Philadelphia.”
