Revolutionizing everyday products with artificial intelligence

Those three words demonstrated the amazing potential of artificial intelligence. It was the answer to a final question in a particularly memorable 2011 episode of Jeopardy!.

By answering the final question correctly, Watson became the first computer to beat a human on the famous quiz show. "At the time, Watson was connected to a super computer the size of a room while the human brain is just a few pounds. But the ability to replicate a human brain's ability to learn is incredibly difficult."
