The market resolves if one billion dollars worth of damages to digital infrastructure is caused by an AI powered virus by 2027.

@MartinRandall From the comment below "Any damage by a single computer virus that would not be possible without the use of AI resolves the market." So it should be something non-trival, not your middle of the road vibecoded malware. And a single virus causing this much damage without being more flexible than normal attacks seems not that likely.
@ProjectVictory Mythos found security bugs that were dormant for decades, so any virus that does damage via such bugs is presumptively "not possible without the use of AI"
Would automatic generation of malware based on genetic algorithm count as "AI"?
@Riemann Good point. Yes, as long as AI is vital to the virus, the market resolves. I will also resolve the market if a small program is created by an AI with no further interaction with the AI, because i think you could view the creation of the program as a type of instruction. If a singel AI releases several small programs that collectively causes damages worth one billion dollars, the market will resolve if the viruses are dependent on each other to do the damage, but not if they cause damage individually. This is because i think the damages could be attributed to one virus if the damages where impossible without it. Any damage by a single computer virus that would not be possible without the use of AI resolves the market. I am interested in the prospect of an early warning sign for AI risk, so a broad definition of "AI powered" makes sense.
