Question 1

Who has the most accurate AI predictions?

Accepted Answer

Future Shock tracks prediction accuracy for AI researchers, lab leaders, and forecasters. Accuracy is measured by resolved predictions (correct vs wrong) with boldness (average confidence) as a tiebreaker.

Question 2

When do experts predict AGI will arrive?

Accepted Answer

Current predictions range from 2025 to 2045+. Musk and Amodei predict 2025-2027, Huang and Legg target 2028, Hassabis says 2030-2035, and Kurzweil predicts AGI by 2029 with singularity by 2045.

Question 3

How does Future Shock track AI prediction accuracy?

Accepted Answer

Each public prediction is cataloged with source, date, confidence level, and target date. When predictions resolve, we score accuracy and update the leaderboard. Boldness (average confidence) serves as a tiebreaker between predictors with equal accuracy.
