IBM's supercomputer Watson will compete in an edition of the popular US quiz show Jeopardy on 14 February for a prize of $1m (£634,000).
It is reminiscent of a 1997 contest between an IBM computer and chess grandmaster Garry Kasparov.
The TV show is an important test for Big Blue's work in the field of artificial intelligence.
"The big challenge we see here is helping people really appreciate the power and limits of the technology we are developing with Watson," Dr David Ferrucci, IBM's chief scientist of Watson computing told BBC News.
The aim is to have Watson, which was named after IBM's founder Thomas J Watson, to mimic human intelligence by deciphering and answering questions without being connected to the internet.
Watson is a new question-answering system based on natural language.
