Will this happen?
If Anthropic succesfully automates AI research in 2024 this market resolves YES.
Otherwise this market resolves NO at close (start of 2025).
I will ultimately be using my own judgement and deciding based on the spirit of this market. I plan to be heavily watching Anthropic, investigating what AI researchers believe, and getting input and feedback from others.
A minor amount of irrelevant tasks automated won't count, we are talking about a meaningful amount of AI research automation.
I will NOT bet in this market.
This could be doable with an AutoGPT-style agent, although AI research does have a few different moving parts so I don't know if it'll be achievable as soon as the end of next year (especially since more blind/brute-force AutoML-type stuff hasn't already "automated AI research" in the same sense that Anthropic is seeking to do.)
