3 prediction markets price this story:

• Before Jan 1, 2027 — the market puts it at 5%, closing 1 Jan 2027. The market resolves to Yes if Donald Trump explicitly calls for or endorses a global pause, pacing, or slowdown in frontier AI development before January 1, 2027. It resolves to No if he does not make such a statement by that date. Readers often mistake general criticism of AI or unrelated remarks about 'super intelligence' for the required explicit endorsement of a developmental pause.
• AI / Artificial Intelligence — resolved “No” on 11 Oct 2026. The market resolves to Yes if Donald Trump explicitly mentions artificial intelligence during his Midterm Rally in Syracuse, New York, which is scheduled for October 9, 2026. Otherwise, it resolves to No. Readers often mistakenly believe that any general discussion of AI or quantum computing by the administration counts toward the resolution, but only a specific mention by Trump at this rally matters.
• NASA — the market puts it at 8%, closing 20 Jan 2029. The outcome is Yes if NASA ceases to exist before January 20, 2029. The outcome is No if NASA remains operational on that date. Readers often mistake the linked news story about Microsoft and Adobe for the relevant event, but only NASA's status matters.
