AI Futures Project publishes the AI 2027 scenario

A published scenario, with uncertain outcomes

AI 2027 was publicly released on April 3, 2025. The AI Futures Project’s dated post describes a detailed scenario forecast and two alternative endings. A contemporary interview that day also identifies it as newly launched. The milestone is publication of that research narrative; the AI systems and future events it imagines are not recorded as observed outcomes. [1][4]

FutureSearch contributed forecasts on subjects including research automation and commercialization. Its research page is dated April 3, while its issued contribution announcement followed on April 4. The differing publication dates are preserved, and the forecasting assumptions remain open to disagreement and revision. [2][3]
