The champion supercomputer featured on the show "Jeopardy" and known as Watson will be at RIT Tuesday.

IBM developers will show off Watson during a presentation in the Golisano Hall Auditorium from Noon to 1 p.m. There will be a demonstration period where people can ask Watson questions. The machine famously defeated Jeopardy champions Brad Rutter and Ken Jennings back in 2011. IBM is now looking for ways to commercialize Watson's artificial intelligence engine.
