Widespread, misleading claims about AI forecasting
Recently we have seen a number of papers – (Schoenegger et al., 2024, Halawi et al., 2024, Phan et al., 2024, Hsieh et al., 2024) – with claims that boil down to “we built an LLM-powered forecaster that rivals human forecasters or even shows superhuman performance”.
These papers do not communicate their results carefully enough, shaping public perception in inaccurate and misleading ways. Some examples of public discourse:
Outline:
(00:24) Widespread, misleading claims about AI forecasting
(03:02) What does human-level or superhuman forecasting mean?
(04:08) Red flags for claims to (super)human AI forecasting accuracy
(06:42) Wisdom of the Silicon Crowd: LLM Ensemble Prediction Capabilities Rival Human Crowd Accuracy (Schoenegger et al., 2024)
(09:14) Approaching Human-Level Forecasting with Language Models (Halawi et al., 2024)
(11:10) Reasoning and Tools for Human-Level Forecasting (Hsieh et al., 2024)
(12:50) LLMs Are Superhuman Forecasters (Phan et al., 2024)
(15:19) Takeaways
(16:17) So how good are AI forecasters?

These papers do not communicate their results carefully enough, shaping public perception in inaccurate and misleading ways. Some examples of public discourse:
