Trivia whiz
Ken Jennings has made a career as a keeper of facts; he holds the longest
winning streak in history on the U.S. game show Jeopardy. But in 2011,
he played a challenge match against supercomputer Watson -- and lost. With
humor and humility, Jennings tells us how it felt to have a computer literally
beat him at his own game, and also makes the case for good old-fashioned human
knowledge. (Filmed at TEDxSeattleU.)
Ken Jennings holds
the record for most consecutive wins on the classic American trivia game show,
Jeopardy. He also makes a case for the rules of the game in the future.
At the time
Jennings took on Watson, I issued my own challenge to Watson. Listen to his talk and then compare my
challenge. We share some similar
thoughts. I’m still ready to take
on Watson. Or offer Watson my challenge.
