That Watson understood the natural languages like English and not just computer language like most computers do
Watson was an avatar on the show
Watson, named after IBM's founder, Thomas J. Watson, is an Artificial Intelligence program developed by IBM designed to answer questions posed in natural language.
IBM Watson was developed in the early 2000s and gained widespread recognition when it competed on the quiz show "Jeopardy!" in February 2011. The project aimed to create a system capable of understanding and processing natural language. The technology behind Watson has since evolved and been applied to various fields, including healthcare and business analytics.
The company that developed the Watson computer is IBM. Watson is a computer system with artificial intelligence, that can answer questions, if asked in a natural language.
Watson can not write down his response it is a computer.
Watson did not take any longer than the contestants
There was only one "Watson" computer built. It played Jeopardy... and won!
Deep Blue and Watson are both IBM systems designed for different types of problem-solving. Deep Blue was a chess-playing computer that specialized in evaluating vast numbers of chess positions to defeat world champion Garry Kasparov in 1997. In contrast, Watson is an advanced natural language processing system that gained fame for winning the quiz show "Jeopardy!" in 2011, utilizing machine learning and understanding human language to analyze and respond to complex questions. Thus, while Deep Blue focuses on strategic game play, Watson excels in language comprehension and data analysis.
