Predictor: Demis Hassabis
Prediction text
Artificial Superintelligence arrives by roughly 2030 — shortly thereafter all human illnesses will be cured 'much sooner than we think'; mechanism: AI not just predicting protein structures but generating novel biological designs revolutionizing drug discovery and personalized medicine. Human cybernetic augmentation and synthetic organ generation follow closely behind disease eradication. | First ASI-designation consensus event
Key catalyst: First ASI-designation consensus event
Watch events: Isomorphic Labs drug-approval milestones; ASI capability benchmarks
Resolution evidence
AlphaFold + Isomorphic Labs drug-design validate framework; ASI-by-2030 aggressive even for Hassabis cohort; "all illnesses cured" is maximalist framing.
Predictor: Demis Hassabis
Calibration plot (stated vs observed)
Evidence about this node from Demis Hassabis 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.
