al, 2010). Watson was not connected to the internet during the competition (Clive, 2010). Researchers spent years feeding Watson information that is stored in its memory. During the game, the questions were input manually in text format for Watson, while simultaneously reading the clues aloud to the other contestants. Watson was programmed with a machine-synthesized voice that was heard from a speaker on set (Clive, 2010). Rather than focusing on whether or not Watson could defeat a human player, it was more relevant to determine Watson’s correctness, confidence and speed. To accomplish this, the team gathered data during a full game of Jeopardy. They recorded the percentage of correct responses from Watson, as well as the precision of its responses. Watson is equipped with a confidence threshold that when set higher, would answer a higher percentage of questions with a lessor amount of precision and when set at a lower confidence threshold, answers a lower percentage of questions with a higher amount of precision. The accuracy of Watson was also measured based on the amount of correct responses produced, even when it was not the first to buzz in. The analysis concluded that if set at the highest level of confidence in its answers, Watson would get 80% correct while answering 50% of the questions. A lower…

As one can see, NicoleAlexis goes against the idea that Emma Watson is a perfect representation of what a feminist should be, which is propagated by the media and by the United Nations (Connor, 2016). Rather, the Goodreads user takes a “critical distance” from Watson and formulates that Watson might have a more narrow vision of feminism instead of being intersectional and considering that other factors such as race, abilities, and sexual orientation influence gender inequalities (Jenkins, 1992,…

of arts advocacy. The main reason I am focusing toward young adults is because young adults are the ones who use technology the most; they spend the most amount of time on the internet.

mechanisms (that we [the government] are not going to tell you [the public] about) to make sure we [the government] do not violate your [the public’s] rights” (The Editorial Board, 2013).
