Официальное соревнование с Watson будет в феврале
During a press conference Thursday morning at IBM Research headquarters in Yorktown Heights, New York, the company showcased Watson and held a practice round between the super-computer, Jennings and Rutter.
At the end of the round, Watson was in first place with $4,400. Jennings was second, with $3,400. Rutter was third, with $1,200. None of the three contestants appeared rattled. Of course, Watson lacks the capacity to get rattled.
“Watson doesn’t have any emotions, but it knows that humans do,” Ferrucci said.
Asked if he was nervous to be competing against a computer, Rutter quipped, “Not nervous, but I will be when Watson’s progeny comes back from the future to kill me.”
