This will be evaluated according to the AI Safety Levels (ASL) v1.0 standard defined by Anthropic here.
This resolves based on a public disclosure by any credible research institution that they have access to a system that qualifies for ASL-3. The disclosure, or a follow-up statement by another credible research institution using their results, must explicitly reference the ASL framework—I will not directly litigate what counts. If there is reasonable disagreement in the comments (in my judgment) about what counts as credible, I’ll use a one-week Manifold poll (or similar mechanism as needed) to decide.
Note that the date in question is the date that the model that first reached ASL-3 finished training, not when the ASL-3 determination was made or reported. The market will not resolve until six months after the first qualifying disclosure, to leave room in case the first AI system to qualify was not the first to be disclosed.
Feel free to add new answer choices. Valid choices must be in the format YYYY QQ.
Update 2025-05-25 (PST) (AI summary of creator comment): - An event (a qualifying disclosure) has started the six-month countdown referenced in the market description.
The market will resolve to Other based on this event, unless an older model is reported during the countdown to have achieved ASL-3 at an earlier date.
If such an older model is reported, resolution will be based on that older model's training completion date.
Update 2025-05-25 (PST) (AI summary of creator comment): Regarding the current Anthropic announcement that initiated the 6-month countdown:
It is currently being provisionally treated as an ASL-3 disclosure.
If this announcement is later re-evaluated as ASL-2 (or otherwise determined not to meet ASL-3 criteria) within the 6-month window, it will cease to be considered the qualifying ASL-3 event for resolution based on this specific announcement.
@NoAnswer this starts the sixth month countdown described in the criteria. Will resolve to Other unless an older model is reported to be at least as dangerous on the relevant dimensions.
@Hedgehog it looks like the Anthropic announcement leaves open the possibility that it could ultimately be deemed ASL-2, but I’ll continue to treat this as an ASL-3 announcement unless that happens.m in this window.
