On Robinhood, a technology and ai market is a contract on a clearly defined question that settles against a written rule, the named source and date set before trading. A correct side pays one dollar and the other pays nothing, so the price between 1 and 99 cents reads as the implied probability.
Contracts sourced from CFTC-regulated partner exchanges; Robinhood is the front end.
Always read the specific market's resolution rule, not the headline. Fees and spreads reduce real returns, and availability can change.
Robinhood surfaces event contracts through Robinhood Derivatives and routes them to CFTC regulated partner exchanges. Technology and AI questions appear when a partner exchange lists them, so the catalogue shifts over time. This is general information, not advice, as of November 2025.
