Did You Know About Watson?

Did you know about Watson?

Watson is an AI computer developed to "learn". I watched the end of a NOVA program discussing Watson and his upcoming appearance on Jeopardy! I found the ideas in the program intriguing on the heels of just having finished reading the book Prey. The idea of a computer "learning" is very fascinating. I hope to be able to catch the Jeopardy! airings of Watson's appearance Feb. 14-16.

Computers have been programmed to "learn" at various levels now for years, and I'm OK with that. When they begin to procreate though, then I'll start getting worried!
