The machine may or may not win Jeopardy against human champions next month (I bet it will). But this sort of machines will only improve over time (see computer chess where $19.99 PC software can now beat human champions of all time). If machines can beat humans in answering open-domain questions formed as wordplay, it will be even better in smaller, specialist domains like medicine, law, and business.
Imagine the world where any person have easy access to world experts with latest information in any important domains. Long-term implications in development, education, economics, social policies will be dramatic and opportunities are huge.
