- 01Article focus
AI が過去のニュースから将来を予測できるか調べるとき、AIが事後的に書かれた記事を見つけられると、本当は予測していなくても結果を当てたように見える問題があります。
- 02Operational lens
LLM導入企業の意思決定支援や営業予測などで、モデルの信頼性評価が重要。

arXiv (cs.CL) (Research): check the dataset, evaluation setup, and adoption assumptions for R&D.
Forecasters are evaluated by backtesting, which replays resolved questions and grades the probability the system would have assigned before the outcome was known. For LLMs, two channels leak the answer into this test. A model that retrieves can surface reports written after the event, turning forecasting into a lookup, and each new model is trained on data closer to the event, so a question that lay in the future for last year's models sits inside this year's training data.…
ゼロビズAX View — How Japanese companies can apply it
LLM導入企業の意思決定支援や営業予測などで、モデルの信頼性評価が重要。本研究は評価手法の改善提案であり、直接の導入製品ではないが、LLMベースの予測システム導入時に『評価結果をどう解釈するか』の指標として参考になる。特にデータリーク（過去情報の混入）に注意し、訓練データのカットオフ日を明確にすることが推奨される。情報不足のため詳細な費用感は不明。
