Exact stochastic equations for non-equilibrium dynamics are rarely accessible. We show that the long-time evolution of stochastic dynamics can be predicted from configuration pairs at a fixed short time lag, without knowledge of the equation of motion. Generative diffusion models learn the finite-time transition kernel from these pairs, and iterating it propagates the dynamics far beyond the training lag. For two-dimensional Model B, the diffusive dynamics of a conserved order parameter, the learned kernels reproduce dynamic critical scaling and self-similar $t^{1/3}$ coarsening. Agreement with direct simulations persists on lattices twice the largest training size and for initial ensembles absent from training. For driven colloids in a periodic optical potential, ten minutes of measured trajectories suffice to predict the particle current and mean passage time over the next twenty minutes within experimental uncertainty. Short-time observations thus contain the information needed to predict emergent non-equilibrium dynamics at much longer times.
