We’ve been waiting for months for this New York Times magazine article about Watson, the Jeopardy-playing computer–and the subject of the book I’m writing. Back in January, when I was still writing the book proposal, I was at some of Watson’s …quot;sparring sessions…quot; with Clive Thompson, the writer of the piece.
Back then we thought the story would run in February, maybe in March. But stories that have no peg no news, …quot;evergreens,…quot; can get bounced for months. Happened to me at BusinessWeek all the time.
Anyway, I think it’s a good overview of the Watson project and the challenges involved. If you read it and want to know more about something, please let me know. I can address some of the questions here–and more of them in the book.
