During Watson’s participation in Jeopardy! this week, we received a large number of questions (especially here on reddit!) about Watson, how it was developed and how IBM plans to use it in the future. So next Tuesday, February 22, at noon EST, we’ll answer the ten most popular questions in this thread. Feel free to ask us anything you want!

As background, here’s who’s on the team

Can’t wait to see your questions!
