Will ‘Jeopardy’ have Jennings and Rutter in it?

Ken Jennings and Brad Rutter, the 2 most successful champions in the history of the "Jeopardy" game show, will play 2 games against "Watson," an artificial intelligence program created by the exact same department of IBM that created the software for Deep Blue, the supercomputer that defeated chess champion Garry Kasparov in 1997. There could be three days of machine-versus-man matches that happen in 2011. From February 14-16, they will occur, according to the "Jeopardy" producers. $1 million will go to the winner.

Challenge differs

When Deep Blue went up in opposition to Garry Kasparov in chess, logical computation was paramount. There could be more needed in comprehension of puns, riddles and rhymes in "Jeopardy" though with man-versus-machine. It can be more about which contestant can use their mind better to determine the answer rather than just recalling who or what the answer is.

IBM founder Thomas J. Watson is who Watson is names after while International Business Machines is preparing on it winning. Watson winning can be really great for IBM. It plans on donating the money to charity. Half the winnings could be given to charity for both Jennings and Rutter if they are to win, said AP.

2 of probably the most successful champions in "Jeopardy" could be participating. That is what Jennings and Rutter are. During the 2004-2005 season of "Jeopardy," Jennings won 74 straight games while about $3.3 million was won by Rutter on the same show.
