FutureSearch

Research and prediction tools

FutureSearch describes its business as using AI to improve forecasting and offers tools for researching questions and estimating outcomes, numbers and dates. Its published leaderboard standings are specific evaluations, rather than a guarantee that every forecast is accurate. [1][3]

An actual contribution to AI 2027

FutureSearch contributed core forecasting research to the AI 2027 report released in April 2025, including questions about software-development automation and the speed of AI research. Its own research page records constraints and disagreements with the AI Futures team. This is a substantive forecasting contribution, distinct from merely supplying a model used as an input. [2][1]

The research page is dated April 3, while FutureSearch’s issued announcement is dated April 4. Both describe a speculative research project, so their scenarios are not presented as demonstrated AI capabilities or completed future developments. [2][1]
