Our Analysis

How do we interpret these results

Participants diverge on when they forecast AI will achieve 80% success on 8-hour tasks. Superforecasters are more optimistic and assign a 50% probability that this threshold will be reached by 2028 and a 25% probability by as early as 2027. Experts are somewhat more conservative, expecting this to occur around 2030 at the median, with a 25% chance by 2028. The public is considerably more skeptical, with a median forecast of 2037 and only a 25% probability of resolution by 2030. The 75th-percentile expert forecast of 2035 roughly matches the public's median (2035 vs. 2037).
