A prediction market on Manifold ( indicates a 52.72% probability that US export restrictions will lead to reported large-scale AI chip theft by end of 2026. While speculative, this scenario could disrupt the GPU supply chain critical to ScaleAI's data center operations, potentially limiting their ability to procure chips for expansion. The market consensus reflects growing concern over chip scarcity and black market activity, but the probability is marginal and the timeline distant. This signal is low confidence due to reliance on a single prediction market with a near-even split.
