Prediction text
The AI-native education model will see global adoption within approximately 5 years — driven by sub-$1,000 offline tablets and AI tutors capable of lifting historically lagging demographics (e.g. New Mexico, Sub-Saharan Africa) into top-tier performance brackets. | First national-scale AI-native education rollout
Key catalyst: First national-scale AI-native education rollout
Watch events: Timeback / Alpha platform deployments; ministry-of-education agreements
Resolution evidence
Sub-$1,000 educational tablets now exist (One Laptop Per Child 2.0, Kano, various Android-based); on-device inference feasibility improving.
Predictor: Joe Liemandt
Calibration plot (stated vs observed)
Evidence about this node from Joe Liemandt is multiplied by κ in /api/intake. Lower κ = less weight; floors at 0.10 (effectively silenced) and caps at 1.00 (full weight).
Reference class
This node isn't linked to a reference class. The Bayesian update applies without outside-view blending.
