About

An experiment in predicting the news.

Next Edition publishes AI-generated predictions of tomorrow's headlines, then checks them against what actually happened and publishes the score — good or bad.

What this is

Each morning, eight prediction articles are generated — one for World, Politics, Business, Science & Technology, Health, Sports, Entertainment, and Lifestyle. Each is grounded in current news, written in a broadsheet house style, and published as a finished article before the events it describes have happened.

The following day, every prediction is checked against real news coverage and given a 0–100 accuracy score, along with a plain-language verdict and links to the sources used to judge it. Nothing is scored by the same system that wrote it — accuracy checking uses a different AI vendor specifically to avoid a model marking its own homework.

Why it exists

AI-generated content is everywhere, and claims about how well it performs are easy to make and hard to check. Next Edition takes the opposite approach: every prediction is published before the outcome is known, every score is public, and the full history — good calls and bad ones alike — stays visible on The Record. The goal is to be genuinely useful and interesting to read, while being honest about a simple fact: these are AI-generated predictions for informational and entertainment purposes, not journalism, and not financial advice.

Markets

Next Edition Markets applies the same idea to financial markets — daily AI forecasts for major indices, stocks, and commodities, scored against real closing prices every trading day.
