Day One of the IBM Jeopardy “Man vs. Machine” Challenge is over. The first round saw IBM’s Watson supercomputer finish in a tie with Brad Rutter, as both had $5,000 in earnings at the completion of the initial round, while Ken Jennings trailed with $2,000. Now that you’ve seen the players compete, who do you think will win?

I would love to see Watson develop the ability to make comment on a given subject area. (What do we know about global warming?) Use the same programing process that produces jeopardy answers to formulate hypothesis. Wouldn’t it be cool to someday ask Watson questions like, “What’s the best avenue to pursue a cure for cancer?”
