3 prediction markets price this story:

AI / Artificial Intelligence — resolved “No” on 29 Sept 2026. The market resolves to Yes if Mark Carney explicitly mentions artificial intelligence during his speech at the United Nations General Assembly. It resolves to No if he does not mention it or speaks elsewhere. Readers often mistake any general discussion of AI for a specific verbal confirmation by Carney at this event.
United Nations — the market puts it at 20%, with $24 traded in the last 24 hours, closing 20 Jan 2029. The outcome is Yes if the United States fully withdraws from the United Nations before January 20, 2029. Otherwise, the outcome is No. Readers often mistake the date of the linked news story for the deadline.
Israel — the market puts it at 12%, with $105 traded in the last 24 hours, closing 1 Jan 2027. The outcome is Yes if Donald Trump physically travels to and stays inside Israel between now and January 1, 2027. Otherwise, the outcome is No. Readers often mistake the linked news story about arms sales for the resolution criteria, but only Trump's physical presence matters.

Odds are the market's probability that the outcome happens, updated every few minutes. They are information about what traders expect, not a forecast we make and not investment advice.
