  1. 2025-12-31hitEnterprise AI in production reaches 72% (up from 55% in 2024)
    How: Deloitte 2026 State of AI in Enterprise report (or comparable McKinsey / IDC research) shows 72% of enterprises have at least one AI workload in production, up from 55% in 2024.
    Source: Deloitte — The State of AI in the Enterprise — 2026 AI reportconf 90%
    Notes: HIT — concrete quantification of 'we're 10-15% in' framing. Deployment now ramping rapidly.
  2. 2025-12-31hitMcKinsey 2025: 88% adoption but only 6% see meaningful EBIT impact
    How: McKinsey 2025 Global Survey on the State of AI confirms that 88% of enterprises use AI but only 6% see meaningful EBIT impact, validating Schmidt's 'we are only 10-15% in' framing.
    Source: Banandre — McKinsey's 2025 AI Report: 88% Adoption, 6% Impactconf 85%
    Notes: HIT — gap between adoption and impact is direct evidence for Schmidt's prediction. We are early in deployment, not in capability.
  3. 2026-06-01 → 2028-12-31pendingFirst country reports AI-attributable productivity growth >1% sustained
    How: BLS, OECD, or central bank reports an AI-attributable productivity growth contribution of more than 1% to total-factor productivity in a developed economy, sustained over 4+ quarters.
    Source: Anticipated — BLS, OECD, central bank productivity reportsconf 55%
    Notes: Direct macro test of moving from 'underhyped' to materializing impact, beyond enterprise-survey signals.
  4. 2026-12-31 → 2028-12-31pendingFrontier-AI capex aggregate exceeds $500B/year cumulative
    How: Combined frontier AI lab + hyperscaler annual capex (Microsoft, Google, Meta, Amazon, OpenAI Stargate, xAI, Anthropic) exceeds $500B/year, signaling that capital deployment matches Schmidt's 'we are 10-15% in' framing.
    Source: Anticipated — hyperscaler 10-K capex disclosures, AI-lab funding announcementsconf 70%
    Notes: Capital-deployment cycle is the leading mechanism for the next 85-90% of impact to land.
  5. 2027-01-01 → 2030-06-30pendingSchmidt makes follow-up public statement updating '10-15% in' figure
    How: Eric Schmidt makes a public statement (TED, podcast, op-ed, congressional testimony) updating his 'we are X% in' framing with a higher percentage estimate.
    Source: Anticipated — Schmidt public-statement archiveconf 70%
    Notes: Cascade — direct re-assessment by the speaker validates trajectory.

What if this resolves?

Clamp this prediction TRUE or FALSE and run a counterfactual Gibbs sample. Surfaces the predictions whose marginals shift most under that assumption.
(live posterior: 50%)

Click a button to clamp this prediction and run a Gibbs sample. Returns the predictions whose marginals shift most. ~30s per run; ideal for stress-testing "if X resolves, what else moves?"
