Smartest machine on earth
What is "machine learning"?
The ability for a machine to learn from it's mistakes. AI.
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"?
This "machine learning" gives Watson a real advantage over other machines because it can learn from it's mistakes. Ex: when Watson didn't get a context clue in a jeopardy question, and that caused him to get it wrong; in the following question he was able to analyze the question and get it right.
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 to suspend judgement and to embrace doubt in order to work harder for a better result. This relates to machine learning because they saw doubt in Watson, but they worked harder to make him better.

car of the future
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.
A car of the future is a car that is fuel efficient, light weight, hydrogen powered, and overall it also needs to be safe.
What fields of study/work would support the development of the car of the future. Describe two different ones.

Ground Zero
What different "trades" (types of construction work) are featured in this video? Name at least three.
What aspect of the project is most interesting to you? Why is that?
The architecture was the most intresting aspect to me beacause they were able to find a way to build a giant tower that looks nice and modern, and at the same time it is very safe.

- Pipe work
