Jeopardy! plans on airing a couple matches featuring two of its most dominant ubergeek contestants of the past and Watson, an artificial intelligence developed by IBM. Oh, sure, the idea seems cute now. I’m sure our robotic overseers will play it on a loop in the dismal rec rooms of the lunar labor camps, giving us ample opportunity to curse our oh-so-clever scientists. Perhaps I’m just being an alarmist and this is a harmless publicity stunt. But don’t come crying to me if Watson suddenly vaporizes its human opponents and declares itself Master of Humanity.
