Resolution Criteria

Resolves YES if any brand ranked in the top 20 Super Bowl advertisers by ad spend airs a commercial during Super Bowl LXI (scheduled for February 2027) where the majority of the visual content was generated by AI.

What counts as primarily AI-generated:

  • More than 50% of the visual frames/shots were created using AI image or video generation tools (Sora, Runway, Pika, Kling, etc.)

  • The advertiser or their agency publicly states the ad was primarily AI-generated

  • Credible industry reporting (Ad Age, AdWeek, WSJ) confirms AI generation was the primary production method

What doesn't count:

  • Traditional ads that use AI for minor post-production, color grading, or editing

  • Ads that use AI voice cloning or music generation but are otherwise live-action

  • AI-assisted scriptwriting or storyboarding with traditional filming

  • Pre-game or post-game ads (must air during the actual Super Bowl broadcast window)

Top-20 advertiser is determined by total Super Bowl ad spend as reported by iSpot, Kantar, or Ad Age's annual Super Bowl advertiser rankings. Historical top spenders include: Anheuser-Busch, Google, Amazon, Apple, Coca-Cola, PepsiCo, Toyota, Hyundai, T-Mobile, Meta, etc.

Verification: Based on credible industry reporting. If there is genuine dispute about whether an ad is 'primarily' AI-generated, creator discretion applies.

Resolves NO if no qualifying ad airs, or if Super Bowl LXI does not take place by March 31, 2027.

Context

AI video generation (Sora, Runway Gen-3, Kling) is advancing rapidly. Toys 'R' Us ran a Sora-generated ad in 2024, and Coca-Cola used AI for a holiday campaign. The Super Bowl is the most expensive and highest-profile advertising event globally (~M per 30-second spot). The question is whether a major advertiser will go all-in on AI for this stage.
