Supercomputer Takes on ‘Jeopardy’ Champions [VIDEO]

This week on "Jeopardy," a supercomputer named Watson is competing against Ken Jennings and Brad Rutter, the two most storied players in the history of the game show

Watson is able to respond in a human voice to Alex Trebek’s answers. And the supercomputer is able to do so quickly enough to often beat the two human "Jeopardy" legends to the buzzer.

After the first day of the competition Watson was tied with Rutter for the lead.

And it's over now - the machine destroyed the humans!  The final score over the two games they played was:  Watson at $77,147 . . . Jennings at $24,000 and Rutter at $21,600.  On his answer screen, Jennings wrote, quote, "I for one welcome our new computer overlords."
