New Prediction
Why do you think you're right?
The US has already taken action to prevent government use of OpenAI.  That will likely be codified or re-stated within that time period.  There is also better than 50% probability that one of the 195 countries in the world will take some regulatory action during the 5 month period.

Why might you be wrong?
There may be a more pressing issue (e.g. PRC invasion of Taiwan) that precludes and distracts the nations of the world from taking action on OpenAI access

New Prediction
Why do you think you're right?
While these entities may include digital provenance as a contributing element of veracity it is highly unlikely (and not supported by previous actions) that these organizations will favor verifiability over "first-to-print"
Files
Why might you be wrong?
A large number of high-profile, sequential, and embarrassing stories from these outlets that were proven fakes would force the leadership to announce (though not necessarily enact) digital provenance standards

New Prediction
Why do you think you're right?
Similar to question 1.  The likelihood that some domestic or foreign entity is currently using AI (or will be using it soon) is a near certainty.  The probability that it will be detected (or attributed) is less likely... but still more likely than not... even when narrowed to a single (meta) entity...
Files
Why might you be wrong?
A detected disruption that favors a political entity that is favored by Meta may not be perused for attribution (or reported)

New Prediction
Why do you think you're right?
Initial rollout or testing of some digital provenance technology is more likely than not in the next 6 months
Files
Why might you be wrong?
internal competition for resources within these companies may inhibit social media orgs from enabling/investing in this feature without some significant external incentive

New Prediction
Why do you think you're right?
AI is capable of generating 1000's of curated, unique responses to social media posts and news comments right now... the likelihood that our adversaries  (or even domestic political entities) will use this tool to shape conversations and narratives in the next 12 months is near certain... to forecast that social media will recognize this as an issue, and also take action depends on a number of factors--including: Is the impact obvious? ;  (and possibly more importantly) Does the impact of the AI interference conflict with the political and commercial concerns of these companies?  While it may be possible to statistically show that something is amiss (there is interference) ... the ability to concretely provide evidence of AI usage is less likely... also the politicalization of every issue provides the possibility that evidence of AI interference could be available,  but the will to act would not materialize
Files
Why might you be wrong?
If an issue that conflicted with the political leanings of these companies in the next 12 months, and there was enough public outcry there could be some action on the part of at least one of these companies...
