Manifold MarketsRules
This market resolves to the first calendar year in which a story centered on a specific AI advancement or consequence clearly dominates the mainstream news cycle — meaning it’s the lead story (headline or top segment) on at least two major outlets (e.g. The New York Times, Fox News, CNN, BBC, etc.) for three consecutive days.
- The story must be directly about AI capability, behavior, or consequences, not merely about regulation, politics, or corporate announcements.
- Examples that would count:
- • A new AI system autonomously achieves a major scientific or creative breakthrough, such as solving a previously unsolved math or physics problem, or designing and fabricating working technology with minimal human intervention.
- • An AI displays apparent agency, emotion, or sentience, provoking global coverage and public debate.
- • A mass behavioral or psychological event caused by AI (for instance, a chatbot convincing multiple users to harm themselves, or triggering a mass panic or social movement).
