Well said Mike. That is chump money if you consider how many novel ideas and detailed plans they are going to be able to harvest from a possible prize. Imagine doing 20 years of self-funded research and giving it away for a chance to get noticed by the moguls of the AI empire?
On the other hand, why not? How else would these ideas see the light of day ever? It's an individual choice. I tend to not want to share my real IP for free, so, unless there is a sponsorship university fund or similar funding for the R&D, the hard slog in a "dusty gararge" is wear the action should remain at. Bleeding edge is more fun anyways.

It sounds like they are both trying to promote Watson and cash in on somebody's inventions. I mean $5 million is a tremendous amount of money to me, but in the big scheme of things it is pocket change in exchange for AI that is truly scalable and world-changing.
