Watson & Other Als Overtake Wall Street? (Michael D Rhodin) This fireside chat with Michael Rhodin of IBM will explain how Watson has moved beyond Jeopardy into finance, and what this and other Al solutions mean for Wall Street.

In the case of computer power there is no opposing immune system fighting back, so Kurzweil thinks computers will achieve almost limitless processing power; perhaps even within our lifetime. He thinks this will lead to some interesting conse

In 2011, Watson featured as a contestant on Jeopardy, the American quiz show, where it beat the two record-holding contestants — the one with the highest number of wins and the one with most consecutive
