Ideas to monetize new artifical intelligence

Then don't disclose the algorithm or collect the $1 million. If your algorithm really is good, demonstrate it by 'winning the prize', but rather than claiming the money and turning your algorithm over to Netflix sell it to someone.

You're really wasting your time with the stock market though. Technical analysis is just silly.

That was also my first reaction, but maybe the commodities market (which he's targeting) is more inefficient than equities.

Indeed, by winning the Netflix prize you've proven your approach is worth at least 1 million. And by beating some very, very good teams you've shown you know something they don't. That's very valuable evidence. That's IF you can hack it :)

I couldn't agree more. Based on the quality of the teams at the top, if you beat their algorithms you have proven you have something particularly special. I think you'll easily be able to sell it for more than $1 million.
