Jack Clark proposes pre-registering AI economy forecasts to score predictors in a year

Jack Clark proposes pre-registering AI economic-impact forecasts: communities align predictions with different scenarios now, then a year later cross-walk actual economic outcomes against those scenarios to see who predicts better. He hopes this also implicitly surfaces the 'weighting' of parameters — some are more predictive of the future — building a dataset that helps future forecasting.
