Resolution Criteria
This market will resolve based on the probability shown on this exact question at 12:00 AM UTC on January 1, 2026:
YES if the market probability is > 50%
NO if the market probability is ≤ 50%
If the market is closed or deleted before the resolution date, it will resolve based on the last recorded probability.
Considerations
The market's final probability will reflect traders' collective assessment of various technological, social, and economic factors leading up to 2026
The resolution is based purely on the market probability at the specified time, not on any external assessment of whether impacts were actually positive or negative
Historical data shows that long-term predictions about technological impacts often have significant uncertainty, as demonstrated by frequently exceeded AI progress forecasts
If the market has exactly 50% chance, then it will be a partial resolution
