I would use it in productivity software. The users would input their to do list and the AI would suggest the best next task for them to complete. You could have the user input some information about their lifestyle - married? family? when do they work? etc - and the AI would take into consideration these factors when determining the next best task.

Very knowledge intensive, isn't it? Sounds as hard as passing the Turing test, to me.

I know there are people who trade algorithmically (I'm one of them). I just wanted evidence of one person who had made billions from it.

You've taken my comment on a personal level in that you think I'm talking about an individual. I would form a company around the idea and target investing.

How about D. E. Shaw? I'm not sure how much he's made, but it's surely quite a lot.

At least patents are only 20 years, copyright is forever.

Copyright isn't forever. It originally expired 17 years after the death of the author. Unfortunately Disney pushed for extension of copyrights every time their key copyrights (Micky mouse & friends) were about to expire and have been able to push extending them quite unreasonably.

Right, Disney has effectively made copyright forever by making it last more than a lifetime.

Thats the problem disclosing the algorithm is something I'd rather avoid. I don't mind sharing it with a company for a licensing fee as long as I don't have to public domain it.

I just glanced at the rules. I didn't see anything about disclosing outside of Netflix, but you do have to license winning algorithms to them. The license appears to grant them the right to make & sell products based on the algorithm.

Just happened pon this board. I quickly looked through this thread and didn't see this idea mentioned. I've worked ACIS who's kernal make AutoCAD what it is. When you want to use their code they provide the object files for you to link into your code. It preserves their secrets but allows you to make use of the functionality. You could try something like that... I have an encryption scheme that could further hide functionality, even during execution. muxzero@inbox.com if I can help.

even if its in the milliseconds range?

fincancial fraud detection bottlenecks are typically between ram and the processor. Thousands of snychronously incoming transactions have to be examined simultanously, because they correlate heavily. It is not like "here is one transaction, is it a fraud?" but "here are 2^20 transactions, what are the frauds?". You could do this by pipelining, but I guess Banks want a zero downtime system and I personally would not t…

You could simply prove it works and sell the whole thing to the bank.
