The anthropic principle, also known as the "observation selection effect",[1] is the hypothesis, first proposed in 1957 by Robert Dicke, that the range of possible observations that could be made about the universe is limited by the fact that observations could happen only in a universe capable of developing intelligent life
Resolves YES if there's some point in the past century of AI developent with a 50% physical chance of something like human extinction that we didn't take and we thus "experienced selection" against that. Resolves NO if not. This market will resolve, if ever, once we're posthuman or something like that and can answer such difficult questions.
