AI Innovator Shares How To Make Profit From AI Forecasting Bets - Michael Ulin And Lily Patrascu

Michael Ulin is a leading AI forecasting innovator and high-precision prediction strategist. With 76% accuracy across 10,000 prediction market questions through Tenki, he has built an AI forecasting infrastructure that helps traders identify high-probability opportunities the market overlooks. He explains that Tenki evaluates probabilities, compares them to real-time market prices, and sizes allocations using the Kelly criterion so users can profit systematically rather than relying on gut instinct. He shares that Tenki weighs news, polling data, and social signals automatically, producing clearer probability estimates than most individuals can calculate on their own. He highlights that the biggest profit comes when Tenki’s forecasts diverge sharply from market sentiment, allowing users to capitalize on mispriced predictions. His success demonstrates how AI-driven probabilistic reasoning can outperform intuition and transform forecasting into a repeatable investment strategy.
