Resolves YES if a global AI pause is enacted at any time before 2035, and we survive to 2035.
Resolves NO if we survive without enacting an AI pause

For the purpose of this question:
A global AI pause is a pause agreed on or forced upon countries that cumutatively make up over 95% of AI research between 2024 and the year the pause comes into effect.
A pause must force all AI training within the affected countries to be strongly restricted or banned, according to specific and extensive rules and restrictions.

  • Update 2026-09-17 (PST) (AI summary of creator comment): - A 6-month pause qualifies as a global AI pause for the purpose of this market's resolution.

"well yes, let's stop developing potentially potent weapons" said authoritarian regimes.

What if it's a 6 month "pause"?

@0xseraphim that’s a pause yeah

What about a naturally occuring AI pause? Like if there's a calamity that slows AI progress significantly.

predictedNO

@asmith good question. For the pause to count, it must be an intentional act aimed specifically at restricting AI development. Incidental halts due to other events do not qualify.
