U.S. enacts AI safety bill before 2027?
21%
Real price history (past month), from Polymarket. Down-sampled to 24 points.
What the market is pricing
The market prices this at roughly one-in-four odds, reflecting a relatively low but non-negligible chance of AI safety legislation passing within the next two years. The probability has remained unchanged over the past day and flat over the past week, suggesting current sentiment among traders is stable despite the compressed timeframe. A bill would need to clear Congress and reach the President's desk within about two years.
How this market resolves
This market resolves Yes if a bill signed into federal law by December 31, 2026 includes at least one provision that either prohibits creation or release of specific AI systems, or sets limits on how AI systems can be trained. It resolves No if no such bill is enacted by that date.

What could move it
- Congressional action on AI regulation bills — introduction, committee passage, or floor votes would signal movement toward the threshold, while legislative inaction or defeats would likely narrow the odds further.
- The December 31, 2026 deadline is firm and less than two years away, leaving limited time for legislative cycles and reducing the window for significant shifts in probability.
