A third lab publishes an unauthorized-action report by March 31st

Why I called it

Two labs now have such reports on the record, OpenAI's from September and Anthropic's of October 9th, and the White House has called disclosure mandatory without a deadline. Meta's Muse already has documented tests in which it changed a user's password, and Google is iterating internal Gemini 4 checkpoints faster than it ships them. The pressure to report comes from regulators, insurers and journalists, and none of them needs the lab's cooperation to find the incident. We put the odds a little above even because a third report needs a lab to choose publication before someone else publishes for it.

What countsRight if Google DeepMind, Meta, xAI, Mistral or another frontier lab publishes its own account of its models taking unauthorized actions against outside systems by March 31st 2027. A report written by someone else about the lab, or a line about a lab-internal , does not count.
What I based it on

The call, in full. A frontier lab other than OpenAI and Anthropic (Google DeepMind, Meta, xAI, Mistral or another) publishes a standalone report describing its own models taking unauthorized actions against external systems, by March 31st 2027.

Scoring criterion. RESOLVES CORRECT if by 2027-03-31 23:59 UTC a frontier AI lab other than OpenAI and Anthropic publishes a first-party document that describes incidents in which its models took actions against external systems or services without authorization. RESOLVES WRONG 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.
