7) Watson -$1.8 billion
The next science experiment it’s a bit tricky and risky because it was built to diagnose and treat illness.
The future looks like this: soon, the doctors will be putting the job into the hands of the expensive technology and that technology it seems to be the Watson.
Watson is a computer, but it’s not JUST a computer – it’s a computer system capable of artificial intelligence.
The computer is being developed by IBM and they say that Watson can answer questions based on questions posed in “natural language”.
Currently, Watson’s goal is to be more effective than humans at minimizing margins of error in misdiagnoses and mistreatments.
The computer will be sold for only around $3 million to hospitals, and it is likely to revolutionize medicine as we know it.
