Hopefully I'm doing it for money, but I'd do it even if I knew I'll never see a dime out it. I have plans on monetizing it, right now doing a test run with a medical CAD software provider (Computer Assisted Diagnosis) to improve their results, it's one of the fields where AI actually has clear direct economic value. Also thinking about building a web startup around the algorithms, AI as a web service, might apply to YC. And yes there aren't many AI entrepreneurs, funding is a problem so unless you can afford to bootstrap for a long time (I sold a previous startup and can afford to not make a dime for a few years) you might be in a jam. Most companies in the field are university spin-offs, with the research done while the team is still in the academia.
