Synopsis:
The thrilling story of the computer that can play Jeopardy!
For centuries, people have dreamed of creating a machine that thinks like a human. Scientists have made progress: computers can now beat chess grandmasters and help prevent terrorist attacks. Yet we still await a machine that exhibits the rich complexity of human thought – one that doesn’t just crunch numbers, or take us to a relevant Web page, but understands us and gives us what we need. That vision has driven a team of engineers at IBM. Over three years, they created “Watson”.
The book traces the arc of Watson’s “life” from its birth in the IBM labs to its big night on the podium.

Letters to The Earth is the beginning of a new conversation.

It’s natural to feel worried or concerned about what the future of the earth holds. These letters are an opportunity to reflect on our connection to the planet and each other in times of crisis. They are also an opportunity to act and respond to this crisis.
