According to The Economist (July 25, 2025 issue, "The economics of superintelligence"), AI may increase annual GDP growth rates to the 20-30% range. This has never been achieved in history among developed nations. The question is whether this will happen by 2030 (so the annual GDP growth has to be > 20% for at least one year, including year 2030), thereby signaling the arrival of superintelligence. "Developed country" is defined by having a Human Development Index over 0.80, and must have a population of over 2 million.
AI-generated note to future resolvers (and self!):
This market asks whether a developed country's GDP will grow by more than 20% due to AI by the year 2030. Because this refers to GDP outcomes by end of 2030, this market should not be resolved before full-year 2030 GDP data is available, ideally in early 2031.
Please:
Leave the market open for trading until Dec 31, 2025 at 3:59 PM (per close date above).
Do not resolve until GDP data and reasonable attribution analysis (e.g. OECD, IMF, World Bank, or economic consensus) becomes available.
If attribution to AI is unclear or disputed, consider leaving the market unresolved and flagging to moderators. But it is implausible that anything other than AI could increase GDP this much.
