About Future Times

Future Times is a digital publication that brings the rigour of prediction markets to the craft of journalism. We believe the best way to understand what's likely to happen next is to ask the people putting real money behind their beliefs.

Our Mission

Traditional journalism tells you what happened. Punditry tells you what someone thinks will happen. We take a different approach: we report on what prediction markets — platforms where participants trade real money on the outcomes of future events — say is likely to happen, and we explain why.

Every article on Future Times is anchored by a probability. That number comes from aggregated prediction market data, reflecting the collective intelligence of thousands of traders who have financial skin in the game. When we write that a Fed rate cut has a 67% probability, it means real money is behind that assessment.

An AI-Native Publication

Future Times is built from the ground up as an AI-native newsroom. Our editorial process combines human editorial judgment with AI-assisted research, data analysis, and drafting. Every article is reviewed and refined by our editorial team, but we leverage AI tools to move faster, cover more ground, and surface insights that traditional newsrooms might miss.

We're transparent about this approach. Articles that involve AI assistance are clearly marked. We believe AI in journalism isn't about replacing reporters — it's about augmenting them with better data, faster analysis, and broader coverage.

How It Works

Our process is straightforward:

1. We monitor prediction markets across platforms including Polymarket, Manifold, and Metaculus for significant probability movements and newsworthy events.
2. When a probability shift is significant — or when a market tells a story that traditional media is missing — our team researches the underlying drivers.
3. We produce analysis that explains not just the probability, but the forces moving it: policy decisions, economic data, geopolitical events, and market dynamics.
4. Every article includes a live probability, its source, and context to help you make better decisions.

For Professional Decision-Makers

Future Times is designed for people who need to anticipate what's coming: investors, policy analysts, strategists, and executives. We cut through the noise of opinion journalism to deliver probability-weighted intelligence you can act on.
