Olympic ceremonies have often featured technologies in ways that have never been used at major events. Augmented reality, drone swarms, and stadium floor projections are examples of breakthrough ways that technology was used artistically. Will AI be featured in a similar role this July?
This market will resolve to YES if an artificial intelligence system is featured in a major artistic role during the 2024 Olympic opening cermonies.
The software must not be a rules-based determinstic system
The software must be actually featured in a noteworthy role during the ceremony, rather than just mentioned in passing or used off-camera
The software must be used artistically, not solely to serve a utilitarian purpose
The software must be LIVE, not in a prerecorded video
The software must be operating on its own, free from human control
Examples of YES resolutions:
Humanoid robots carry the Olympic flag under the Eiffel Tower
A segment is dedicated to French technology, narrated live by Mixtral 8x7B
An LLM serves as the DJ
Self-driving cars roar into the area where the torch will be lit and drive around the athletes
Insufficient examples:
A model produces closed captions for viewers (not artistic)
A self-driving car drives a dignitary to an event (not featured in the ceremony)
A video of robots juggling is played (not live)
A robot operated by a joystick outraces an Olympic champion (not autonomous)
Otherwise, the market resolves to NO. It resolves to N/A if the ceremony is not held by August 31, 2024.
