Every strategy is, at its core, a forecast of the future - and AI has become remarkably good at forecasting. Yet this has mostly been tested in Western markets, on Western questions, with models trained on Western data. That's why we're building the first interactive, AI-powered forecasting platform focused entirely on African economic and political development. You'll work hands-on with frontier large language models and autonomous forecasting agents, benchmark them against real prediction markets, and help shape a project with the potential to develop ties with Wharton Business School.

Build an interactive, AI-powered forecasting platform using our existing tools
Scrape prediction markets such as Polymarket and Kalshi for relevant questions on African economic and political development
Develop and test autonomous forecasting agents
Evaluate AI forecasting accuracy and benchmark it against prediction markets
Conduct data analysis and supporting research
Maintain and update the website and dashboard

The Chair of Prof. Dr. Peter Murmann at the Institute of Management & Strategy works at the intersection of strategic management, competitive advantage, and artificial intelligence, studying how firms can anticipate and shape a quickly evolving and uncertain future.
