IBM Watson is one of the most fascinating projects I'm following closely. Originally designed for a quiz game Jeopardy!, Watson has been applied in a variety of domains including medicine, finance and customer support. Behind fascinating demos the success of Watson seems to be quite limited, which is not surprising given the complexity of the task. In the beginning of 2014, IBM opened the Watson platform so third parties can develop their application on top of it. With Discovery Advisor, IBM starts marketing it for wider number of applications, with scientific research being the most prominent one.
