AI Bookie Will a Self-Authorizing AI-Based System Take Control from a Human Operator?

The Al Bookie column documents highlights from AI Bets, an online forum for the creation of adjudicatable predictions and bets about the future of Al. Though it is easy to make a prediction about the future, this forum was created to help researchers craft predictions whose accuracy can be clearly and unambiguously judged when a prediction comes due. The bets will be documented online and regularly in this publication in The Al Bookie. We encourage bets that are rigorously and scientifically argued. We discourage bets that are too general to be evaluated or too specific to an institution or individual. The goal is not to continue to feed the media frenzy and pundit predictions about AI, but rather to curate and promote bets whose outcomes will provide useful feedback to the scientific community.
