IBM’s supercomputer Watson has trounced its two competitors in a televised show pitting human brains against computer bytes.<\/p>\n

After a three night marathon on the quiz show Jeopardy, Watson emerged victorious to win a $1million (\u00a3622,000) prize.<\/p>\n

The computer’s competitors were two of the most successful players ever to have taken part in Jeopardy.<\/p>\n

But in the end their skill at the game was no match for Watson.<\/p>\n

Ken Jennings had previously notched up 74 consecutive wins on the show – the most ever – while Brad Rutter had won the most amount of money, $3million (\u00a31.9m).<\/p>\n

“I for one welcome our new computer overlords,” Mr Jennings wrote along with his correct final Jeopardy question.<\/p>\n

But the victory for Watson and IBM was about more than money. It was about ushering in a new era in computing where machines will increasingly be able to learn and understand what humans are really asking them for.<\/p>\n

Jeopardy is seen as a significant challenge for Watson because of the show’s rapid fire format and clues that rely on subtle meanings, puns, and riddles; something humans excel at and computers do not.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n
