Is AI better than prediction markets?
Updated 22 October 2026
Not yet overall, but closer than you might think. Blind to the price, 10 AI models picked the right side 70.7% of the time against 75.6% for the market. On sports questions they picked 23 of 31 against the market's 23, their confident calls were right 11 of 12 times, and DeepSeek V4 Pro has beaten the market price on 21 questions.
Scoreboard
| AI | Market | |
|---|---|---|
| Right side | 70.7% | 75.6% |
| Brier score (lower is better) | 0.197 | 0.149 |
| Sports questions, right side | 23 of 31 | 23 of 31 |
| Kalshi questions, right side | 10 of 15 | 10 of 15 |
Why the AIs are handicapped
The models never see the price, the order book or what traders are betting; they only get the question and a short research brief. Markets also update every minute while the AI forecast is made once. Keeping up on the right side 70.7% of the time under those rules is the interesting result.
