Artificial Intelligence is within our reach. Not earlier this year but maybe a few years ago I think IBM created the super computer that name was Watson. Watson was created to go against some of the smartest minds in the Jeopardy game. When they were designing him, the makers knew that he could not use the internet and needed to put tons of documents in the data banks so that he could answer the questions. But the one challenge was that the computer needed a human brain. It needed to be able to respond to hard context clues and understand the puns and weird language that are in the questions. In order for them to do that they needed to be able to use computer learning. Computer learning is when the computer picks up on patterns on its own to be able to get when your are trying to say. So it is getting examples of different things. Like when you talk into your phone like to Siri, and you want it to look up your favorite restaurant, and it looks it up for you; well your computer is looking up different things the might match up with the accent in your voice. And they gave this computer practice questions to help out when by itself in the game. This is super cool and if we are to put this technology in to a robot then we can have helpers with almost everything known to man. (ans yes the computer won the game. Computer 1 Man 0)
