I will resolve this market to the current probability (MKT) after trading closes next week.
For example, that means if it ends at 90%, YES bettors will get 90% of the pool and NO bettors would get 10% of the pool, distributed in proportion to each bettor's shares of each pool.
AI existential risk is typically framed as an out-of-control AI intentionally or incidentally taking actions that kill all humans.
Pandemic risk includes both engineered and naturally occurring pathogens including viruses and bacteria that could wipe out humanity.
