This market resolves YES if Oxford University Press's Word of the Year for 2025 is directly related to artificial intelligence. Market resolves based on the official announcement on the OUP website as of January 1, 2026. For reference, their 2024 Word of the Year was "brain rot".

"Directly related to artificial intelligence" means that either the word/itself OR the rationale provided in the official announcement explicitly refers to AI technology, applications, or impacts. Terms like "language model" and "neural network" would obviously count, as would e.g. "hallucination" or "prompt engineering". Cases like "assistant" or "slop" would count if the rationale made it clear that they had AI in mind.
