I guess it is the nature of all species to support and promote their own kind. I am no different. That is the reason why (for the 1st time) I want technology to lose in this ultimate battle between Man & Machine. After humiliating human beings in 1997, when Deep Blue defeated chess master Gary Kasparov, IBM is back to business to prove that machines can beat human beings once again. This time the IBM challenger is more harder, better, faster & stronger than ever.
Last night in Jeopardy IBMs super computer Watson played against two of the most successful and brilliant contestants of this game – Ken Jennings & Brad Rutter. Both Ken & Brad are exceptionally good at playing Jeopardy. Ken earned a total of $3,022,700 only to be surpassed by Brad who made a total of $3,255,102 on the show. I would admit that in a long time I have not seen anything that exciting on the national television. This is a 3 night event which started yesterday i.e 14th Feb and on 16th Feb we will come to know how good is Watson in beating human beings at their own game.
The earnings for the first night is as follows:
Brad & Watson are having a tie with their earning at $5000
Ken is on $2000
Good Luck to all man kind for tonight and tomorrow night. May the best one wins.
