Research on AI Identifying Ambiguities in Contracts
soumitrashukla9 · x · 2026-07-17
This repost highlights a new study: researchers tried having AI first read the rules and then predict which prediction market contracts are more likely to face disputes or ambiguities during settlement. The team applied the method to 10,000 settlement rules from Kalshi and Polymarket and found it identified high-risk contracts better than random guessing.
The study's premise is that the key to governance and rule design often lies in whether ambiguities, loopholes, and misunderstandings can be proactively addressed and resolved within the rules. The author aims to use AI for this "proactive bug-hunting" to write clearer, less contentious rules.
