Session
Prediction markets have proved remarkably effective at forecasting sports and world events, but their greatest value will be improving decisions.
In this talk, we’ll explore decision markets: prediction markets used to make choices. We’ll explore futarchy to optimise metrics, opportunity markets to filter through options, risk pricing to evaluate threats such as protocol failures, and distilled human judgement to scale human evaluation.
