Hi there everyone,
I watched a video earlier about a robot that people claim to be the smartest robot made so far with a good amount of artificial intelligence. The robot was then placed on Jeopardy to test the AI of the robot to the limit against Jeopardy's biggest winners to see who would win.
What is "machine learning"?
Machine learning is I think the ability for a machine to gather all known data about a question that it is confronted with, and if it makes a mistake then it will log it into memory for future questions that are similar to the previous (mistake) question.
How did the IBM team employ that concept in the development of Watson's AI? What advantage did that provide over previous attempts at "intelligence"?
The IBM team employed that concept in the development of Watson's AI by making it go through practice runs of Jeopardy, and giving it access to a vast list of data within the memory banks. The advantage that Watson's intelligence had over previous attempts at "intelligence" was that original intelligence like chess had set rules and possible reactions while Watson's intelligence involved previous knowledge combined with knowledge learned by mistakes and new experiences.
I've often mentioned the term "Empirical Scepticism". What does that mean? How does that relate to the concept of Machine Learning? How does this relate to your life?
Empirical Scepticism means questioning the basis of scientific understanding or testing science that we know to see if it fits the Scientific Method or not. Empirical Scepticism relates to the concept of Machine Learning by having us question to see if Machine Learning is possible despite claims from society about the possibility of failure. Empirical Scepticism relates to my life because I like to question things that I see and experience in life to see if it is truly fits in science and truth or to see if it's a pseudoscience or just made up.

The Car of the Future
Hello everybody,
I just watched a video that talked about the car of the future! Isn't that something?! If would want a car of the future, I would get one that is durable, gets good gas mileage, has a huge gas tank, and has a strong engine.
So what is the car of the future? In other words, what appears to be the most promising technology explored by Click and Clack? Justify your response.
The car of the future is one that appears to be the most promising technology explored by Click and Clack is a car that is powered by hydrogen because not only will it power the car, but burning hydrogen will not harm the environment since the exhaust from the car would be water vapor instead of carbon dioxide from petroleum.
What fields of study/work would support the development of the car of the future. Describe two different ones.
The fields of study/work that would support the development of the car of the future are the study of hydrogen as a source of fuel and engineering by creating more efficient car engines. By studying hydrogen in relation to car fuel or as I like to call it "hydrology with cars" you would be able to create a fuel from the explosive element that is environmentally friendly and economically valuable. By doing engineering in relation to car engines you could learn about how an engine works, and will be able to find ways to get more use out of it.

Engineering Ground Zero
Hello people of the Internet,
In New York City, there is a new world trade center that is being built upon at Ground Zero. The tower being built is going to be more stable and supportive than it was before when it was first built.
What different "trades" (types of construction work) are featured in this video? Name at least three.
The types of "trade" that are featured in this video are:
What aspect of the project is most interesting to you? Why is that?
The aspect of the project that is the most interesting to me is that the construction workers are building inward then outward with a stable base and middle on the inside. The reason is that the workers are making the building as safe as humanly possible in order to prevent another act of possible terrorism from succeeding again, and that they are now using the strongest tools to build it like concrete and steel.
