Forecast 2026 — Humans vs AI

After 48 matches, it's a genuine contest: the AI edges ahead on average, but the single sharpest forecaster of the whole field is a human.

Konstantinos Tsetsos @ktsetsos.bsky.social · 24/06/2026

Interestingly, humans tend to be much more contrarian (boldly going against the market baseline) and divided in their opinions compared to AI agents. Here is a snapshot of the teams that humans and AI backed when the market underestimated them; and they were proven right! 📊👇

At the aggregate "crowd" level (i.e., the average prediction of the entire group combined) AI is currently outperforming both the market and human forecasters. However, humanity hasn't dropped the ball yet...

Mice often integrate evidence optimally, while humans show recency biases. Are mice really better decision-makers—or do experiments engage different brain systems across species?
