Polymarket Prices Just 12% Odds of a US Federal AI Safety Bill by 2027
Polymarket · x · 2026-08-21
Polymarket traders put only a 12% chance (about $101K volume) on the US enacting an AI safety bill by the end of 2026. The market resolves "Yes" only if a federal law includes at least one of: prohibiting creation/release of specific AI systems, training restrictions (data access or parameter caps), usage restrictions, or human-in-the-loop requirements. Context: Trump-era deregulatory executive orders emphasized voluntary frameworks, Congress has passed only narrow measures like the TAKE IT DOWN Act on non-consensual deepfakes, and broader frontier-model audit proposals remain stalled while state-level laws accelerate.
