Artificial intelligence scenario forecasting connects assumptions and milestones into a narrative about how technical and institutional change could unfold. A scenario may cover agents, research automation, compute, investment, safety, labor, markets, and the feedback between model capability and future development.
A scenario is not a single prediction or promise. It is most useful when claims are explicit, dates and quantities are separable, uncertainty is documented, and later evidence can update individual milestones without declaring the entire scenario either confirmed or disproved.

Frequently asked questions
How is an artificial intelligence scenario different from a forecast?
A scenario describes a coherent possible path, while a forecast usually assigns an estimate or probability to a particular outcome or timing.
How should an artificial intelligence scenario be evaluated?
Track specific claims, compare them with dated evidence, separate direction from timing, and update uncertainty without rewriting the original prediction.
