The New York Times of 10.02.14 reported that IBM's "Watson" artificially intelligent language learning and processing system will play the most expert players that have been on the USA game show "Jeopardy". This article gives an overview of some the computer science involved, in non-technical terms. If you watch the replay of the Jeopardy show (a video stream link to be added to this site soon), please pay attention to what the computer can and cannot do and the types of questions in which the computer must pause or it has "no clue".
