This market will resolve YES if it is widely reported that the "AI Bubble" has "bursted" or "popped" by 11:59 PM UTC Dec. 31 2026. (But after 11:59PM UTC Dec. 31 2025)
This could manifest in many different ways:
- a sudden drop of the NQINTEL or S&P500 indexes
- a halt of capital expenditure and/or VC investment in AI
- private AI companies (such as OAI, xAI, Anthropic, etc.) raising at substantially lower valuations than previous rounds, defaulting or shutting down.
- governments / big enterprises moving down AI in their priority lists.
These events need to be widely reported and referred to as an AI crash or similar by trusted news sources such as Bloomberg, NY Times, FT, Reuters, AP, etc.
Other reasons for a stock market crash or economic slowdown (tariffs, wars, etc.) will not count.

Feel free to ask more questions about the criteria. I will not trade on this market.
