IBM’s supercomputer Watson, which has the ability to answer questions in natural language, demonstrated its efficiency by surpassing natural intelligence.

Watson easily defeated Jeopardy's two all-time champions, Ken Jennings and Brad Rutter, in the popular quiz show where participators supply questions to the answer.

Watson completed the three-day contest with a final score of $77,147, outshining the human contestants Jennings and Rutter who could score merely $24,000 and $21,600, respectively.

The supercomputer made use of a complicated system of algorithms to parse hints by keywords & sentence fragments to respond to questions.

The supercomputer was fed with two-hundred million pages of text from as many as one million books, including children’s simple books, newspapers abstracts, movie scripts and massive encyclopedias.

But, commentaries that artificial intelligence surpassed natural intelligence were not correct as Watson demonstrated its fast computational power and not anything like that of its own ideas or thinking power.
