The History and Mechanics of the 20Q Game

In this episode I describe the **20Q game**, a computerized version of the classic Twenty Questions parlor game that utilizes **artificial intelligence**. The text traces its history from its roots in the spoken game to its creation as a **neural network experiment** in 1988 by Robin Burgener. It details the game's expansion to an **online platform** in 1995, which allowed it to learn from millions of players and significantly improve its accuracy, as well as its subsequent releases as a **handheld device**, a **television game show**, and a **mobile application**. The text also highlights the **key features** of its AI, particularly its neural network structure and continuous learning process, and touches on its **cultural impact** and a critical perspective on its crowd-sourced data approach.
