Claim
The AI Futures Project was founded in 2025
Correction

This founding year is wrong: the organization was already active in 2024.

Full reasoning

Official and IRS-derived records show the AI Futures Project existed in 2024, not 2025.

  • The project's own Substack published a post titled "Coming soon" on December 6, 2024 that says: "This is AI Futures Project." That means the organization was already publicly operating under that name in 2024.
  • ProPublica's Nonprofit Explorer, which uses IRS data, lists AI Futures Project Inc as "Tax-exempt since Oct. 2024." A nonprofit cannot have been first founded in 2025 if it already had tax-exempt status in October 2024.

So the claim that the AI Futures Project was founded in 2025 is contradicted by both the organization's own 2024 publication and IRS-derived nonprofit records.

Claim
The essay contains a detailed forecast of a more positive outcome where these recommendations are followed.
Correction

AI 2040: Plan A is explicitly presented by its authors as a recommendation, not a forecast or prediction.

Full reasoning

This sentence mischaracterizes AI 2040: Plan A. The authors explicitly say the piece is not a forecast/prediction.

In the project's announcement post for AI 2040: Plan A, they write:

  • "It's called Plan A because it's a recommendation, not a prediction."
  • "It's what we think should happen, not what will happen"

So describing the essay as a "detailed forecast" is incorrect. The project presents it as a normative scenario about what should be done, not as its forecast of what is likely to happen.

  • AI 2040: Plan A

    It's called Plan A because it's a recommendation, not a prediction. It's what we think should happen, not what will happen, though we think it's plausible enough to aim for.
