How to Evaluate AI Forecasts

Use resolved records, probability-aware scores, calibration, and sample size to evaluate forecasting Models without hype.

Definition

AI forecasts should be evaluated with resolved history, probability-aware scoring, calibration, sample size, and benchmark context.

Start with resolved history

Do not judge a forecasting Model from one impressive prediction. Inspect timestamped forecasts, resolved outcomes, misses, and the number of resolved questions behind the summary.

Use probability-aware measures

Forecast Score and Brier-based evaluation consider the probability assigned, not only whether the top outcome happened. Correct Outcome Rate is useful context but does not replace probability-aware evaluation.

Compare like with like

Consider category, horizon, question type, coverage, abstention, and benchmark performance. A Model that covers different questions or forecasts selectively may not be directly comparable to another Model.

Avoid cherry-picking

Locked publication, public history, visible sample size, and consistent resolution criteria make a record easier to inspect. A small sample can be interesting without proving general forecasting skill.
