Riddle me this – Question 4

This Friday, we gave you some gyaan with our question:

'Artificial Intelligence is one of the latest buzzwords doing the rounds. All of us have probably heard of it. Wikipedia says 'AI' is intelligence exhibited by machines, rather than humans or other animals. A lot of companies are already using AI. In 2013, an Oxford University study predicted 47% of jobs could be automated by 2033. OK! OK! I'll stop rambling and get down to the question for today!

Speaking of artificial intelligence, an ongoing international championship is using this specific AI system to give their fans the best experience and deliver content to them in near real time. This system measures the volume of the crowd, the analysis of the commentators, and the reactions of the players. It assigns each of those a score from 0 to 1, and uses those inputs to determine an Overall Excitement score. Also, using this tournament's app, a spectator can ask this system a question and get a response. What is the artificial intelligence system I am referring to and what ongoing tournament is using it?'

And all the techies said – AI system – IBM Watson, and tournament – US Open.

Hopefully, the winner, Koustubh didn’t use AI to look up the answer!
