Can Anyone Predict What Happens Next?

About this episode

The episode explores the collaboration between AI and superforecasters in improving prediction accuracy.

This podcast was taped at a conference where I hosted several Penn Professors on a variety of topics. The audience included my friends who will join me in asking questions. Our speaker is Phil Tetlock who is a Professor at Wharton and the author of a book entitled Superforecasting . Often, we get our news and analysis from experts who make predictions that are terribly wrong. Phil has analyzed methods of forecasting and has found individuals and groups who are fantastic predictors of politics, war, and sports. I want to learn how AI and superforecasters working together will revolutionize the prediction process and why that is helpful to markets and mankind.
