In 2011, IBM's Watson beat Ken Jennings, who had the longest unbeaten run at 74 winning appearances, and Brad Rutter who had earned the biggest pot of $3.25 million. In the processing realm, the list is quite long, and getting longer all the time. Machines are better than humans at things like, numeric calculations, remembering massive amounts of facts without error, searching through extremely large amounts of information, and so on. Specifically, with the recent progress made in deep learning as discussed in the intro video, AI has surpassed humans in many image processing tasks, such as identifying a large number of objects, like faces in a crowd, or detecting product defects on the factory line…
