NJ congressman upsets 'Jeopardy!' supercomputer
U.S. Rep. Rush Holt of New Jersey‘s 12th District bested the IBM question-and-answer supercomputer “Watson” in a Jeopardy!-style match-up last week.
Rep. Holt called his win as a victory for "neuron-based thinking, instead of semi-conductor thinking.”
"I jumped at the chance to do this, not only because it would be fun, but as a way to highlight our national need to invest in research and science education," said Holt.
