The obsolete know-it-all: Ken Jennings
Former Jeopardy champion Ken Jennings made his name by knowing lots of stuff. Then came Watson, an IBM supercomputer that defeated Jennings without a childhood of pop culture references and world atlases. At TEDxSeattleU, Jennings wonders whether human knowledge is becoming obsolete, and calls for a future where humans and machines can learn and grow together. (Filmed at TEDxSeattleU)
