OpenAI tells US judiciary there may be no reliable way to detect AI images, as safety bill odds sit at 5%

Key Points
- Polymarket odds put the chance of a US federal AI safety bill by year-end at just 5% (10% by end of 2026, 49% by June 2027), reflecting broad skepticism about near-term federal AI legislation.
- Quoted in the same post: OpenAI warned the US judiciary that there may be "no scientific way" to reliably detect AI-generated images and videos in the future.
Together: detection prospects look bleak while the market bets regulation won't land anytime soon — a snapshot of AI governance's real-world constraints.
