Resolves YES if:
An album credibly documented as AI-generated appears anywhere on a Billboard 200 chart dated before January 1, 2030. Evidence that the charting album is AI‑generated must include either an official creator/label statement or coverage by a major outlet (e.g., Billboard, Variety, Rolling Stone, The Verge, NYT) explicitly describing the release as AI‑generated.
Resolves NO if:
If the criteria for YES are not met before the market ends.
If Billboard updates its chart policies to exclude AI-generated content before the criteria are met.
If the Billboard 200 ceases to exist before the YES criteria are met.
Notes:
To avoid any bias regarding what counts as 'credibly documented as AI-generated', I won't bet on this market.
Virtual/”avatar” acts with human‑performed audio do not qualify.
Reissues/deluxe versions qualify only if the charting release itself meets the AI‑generated criterion.
