Part 2 of Mid Term

The reason why it is so much harder for a computer to compete on jeopardy than to play chess is because chess is stored into the computers system and it only has to worry about using math. With the questions that are asked on jeopardy the computer may not understand what is asked or may not know certain words.

Watson works by running many algorithms at once, that govern how it processes the language. The computer then learns, by checking its algorithms against the answers it gets. In that sense it studies in a similar way to humans.

Yes i think this is a good idea because when ever you need help the computer would be there to help you. It would help but then again hurt people because it may out smart people to where we wont be able to do anything. No i do not think computers  would take over the world because we control the computers. Without us the computers wouldn't even be turned on.
