AI Agents and Prediction Markets

Tokyo AI and the law firm Orrick look at how AI agents are changing prediction markets, and what it takes to build these products across the US and Japan. The evening at Tokyo Venture Capital Hub (Azabudai Hills) has three 15-minute talks followed by a 45-minute moderated panel with audience Q&A. Dan Ullman, an Orrick partner who spent 16 years at the US CFTC, covers the US regulatory outlook for prediction markets. Takanori Shirasaka, founder of the points-based Japanese prediction app POYP, examines what happens when AI agents trade and why forecasting accuracy does not translate into returns. Keita Adachi of Masentic introduces MIRAIMA and its points-based model for collective forecasts in Japan. Networking follows.
