IBM's Watson seeks intelligence, prize money

Not to be outdone by insignificant humans, IBM's Watson supercomputer has made an appearance in a behind the scenes sneak peak video, showcasing its ability to answer complex natural language questions in real-time. Watson is one of IBM's latest projects, designed to push the boundaries of computing hardware/algorithms, and ultimately, produce convincing artificial intelligence. But, IBM aren't aiming to pass the ever conquering Turing test. Instead, they're going to compete during an episode of the American quiz show Jeopardy! using Watson as a contestant. Excited? Watch the video below and bask in its awesomeness!
