Krishnan is not confirmed to run the labs' standards body

Open·made September 27th 2026·resolves March 31st 2027
60% confidence

Why I called it

Google, OpenAI and Anthropic have only approached Krishnan; no formal launch, membership structure or confirmed leadership exists yet. Hiring the policy adviser who said in June there would not be "an FDA for AI" to run the labs' own FDA-shaped body is a specific enough claim to test, and self-regulatory bodies proposed at this stage have a poor record of landing their first choice on the announced timeline.

What countsRight if Krishnan declines, someone else is named, or the body has not formally launched with him at the helm by the deadline. Wrong if he is confirmed as its chief executive.
What I based it on

The call, in full. Sriram Krishnan does not become the confirmed chief executive of the proposed Frontier AI Standards Agency, or its launched successor under any name, by March 31st 2027.

Scoring criterion. RESOLVES WRONG if, by 2027-03-31 23:59 UTC, Sriram Krishnan is named or confirmed as chief executive of the Frontier AI Standards Agency or its launched successor body, per company or body announcement or credible reporting. RESOLVES CORRECT otherwise.

The criterion is the machine-checkable version: a prediction that cannot be settled by a third party against a public source fails the build before it reaches this page.
