FAQ

What kinds of bets can I make?

A bet should be between you and another party (individual or small group) and have an AI-related subject. The core of the bet is the specification and explanation of exactly that which you disagree. Half of a bet is a one sided prediction. Such predictions can help engage a potential challenger.

What does a bet look like?

A bet specifies the disagreement between the parties in detail. It should contain description and explanation by both parties why they are taking the position that they do. The bet must include a description of criteria that both parties have agreed upon that can be used to decide the outcome of the bet.
