Players who participated in the marathon weekend was Ken Jennings (74 consecutive wins), the Brad Rutter (profit $ 3 million) and of course Watson. Eventually, Watson won won 1 million dollars. The important thing, of course, no prize money but the fact that artificial intelligence begins to function as human. The game show Jeopardy based on complex thinking and in this sense Watson's victory is particularly significant.
Many, however, were quick to argue that victory does not mean that computers are smarter than humans. As stated by Paul Miller from the website engadget.com, and three players answered correctly in most cases, Watson was just the quickest.
