So if 14 years ago it was chess, and approximately now it is Jeopardy, what’s an example from the class of challenging high profile targets 14 years from now? Turing Test?
Watson apparently refines it’s notion of the kinds of answers that are expected under a given category as it accumulates previous answers. The human contestants could exploit this by starting with the higher dollar questions. I’ll be curious to see if they do.
There’s a detailed chart of the performance over time of the system here.

Proving novel theorems?
Significantly increases my confidence that I will win my bet with Eliezer.
For those of you wondering what he is talking about.
