IBM's Watson and the Jeapordy Experience

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FC3IryWr4c8&feature=relmfu

I found this youtube that has at present 478,133 hits. So, since it has more than any other I could presntly find about IBM's Watson which is a supercomputer trained to understand English and to process as artificial intelligence in English and has been trained to play Jeapordy with champion human Jeapordy players, we are beginnning to see just what a supercomputer with artificial intelligence on board is potentially capable of as it plays jeapordy. This particular youtube video likely describes this process the best for most people. On another youtube video you can hear Watson respond to human speech while playing Jeapordy with human champion players.

The main problem with all this likely in the future or present is ethics. Artificial intelligence might not be programmed with any ethics so if it is used for something good many might benefit. However, it can just as easily be used to kill almost anything over and over again without the slightest feeling of remorse ever.

@alexia When I win again today, I think I'm going home to Silicon Valley and start pitching a social network for computer networks.

begin next quote:

“We will soon create intelligences greater than our own. When this happens, human history will have reached a kind of singularity, an intellectual transition as impenetrable as the knotted space-time at the center of a black hole, and the world will pass far beyond our understanding.“
– Vernor Vinge

All these changes are changing us all. I try to explain some of the kinds of singularities and anomalies through my writings on Purple Delta 7. I use this name as an (at times humorous) endearment rather than to call her "Destroyer of Solar Systems and Galaxies while time traveling back and changing everything so it didn't ever have to be destroyed". It brings up some of the inherent problems of creating an infinitely intelligent artificial intelligence that is self aware and potentially immortal.
