"Watson, named after IBM founder Thomas J. Watson, was built by a team of IBM scientists who set out to accomplish a grand challenge – build a computing system that rivals a human’s ability to answer questions posed in natural language with speed, accuracy and confidence. The Jeopardy! format provides the ultimate challenge because the game’s clues involve analyzing subtle meaning, irony, riddles, and other language complexities in which humans excel and computers traditionally do not."

"Game show pundits have noted, however, that Watson's strategy in Jeopardy as-a-whole could give the machine a natural advantage over its human competitors. As the saying goes, "The only winning move is not to play," and that's exactly what Watson does if it can't formulate a highly probable answer to a given Jeopardy question: It doesn't guess."
