The Office of the Director of National Intelligence (USA) is sponsoring a prediction tournament in which "each team will develop its own tools for harnessing and improving collective intelligence and will be judged on how well its forecasters predict major trends and events around the world over the next four years." The tournament will be administered by the University of Pennsylvania and the University of California Berkeley. US citizens are invited to sign up. More info here. [H/T NYT]
