CategorySourceTypeWhat it helps you check
Model capability and independent evaluationCross-check vendor claims against user preferences, cost, speed, and long-horizon task performance. ArenaUse within scope User evaluation Publishes category leaderboards from blind user comparisons of model responses. It measures preference, not overall factuality or safety.Preference and task metrics do not establish overall safety or factuality. Check model settings, evaluation version, sample and confidence intervals.
Artificial AnalysisUse within scope Independent benchmarks Compares intelligence, coding, agentic work, price, and speed under common evaluation frameworks with methodology details.Different benchmark versions, reasoning settings and agent tools limit comparability. Some tasks are private; these are not safety audits.
METRUse within scope Frontier evaluation A nonprofit research organization evaluating frontier models on long-horizon autonomous tasks and potentially dangerous capabilities.Results depend on task distributions, success thresholds and environments. Task horizons are not whole-economy automation rates. Check access scope, redactions and publication constraints in company engagements; assessments are not safety certification.
ARC PrizeUse within scope Verified task evaluation Compares adaptation to novel interactive tasks and cost under a published testing policy.Separate ARC versions, standard/provider harnesses, cost and test conditions. A high score does not establish AGI.
Safety, risk, and real-world incidentsDistinguish forecast risks from harms already observed in deployed systems. UK AI Security InstituteUse within scope Government independent evaluation Directly tests frontier models for cyber, biological, chemical, autonomy, and control risks, publishing methods, evaluation findings, and security incident reports.Check access, filters, containment and disclosure limits. Government evaluations are not safety certification for every deployment.
Future of Life Institute AI Safety IndexSupporting evidence Expert governance assessment An expert panel compares major frontier AI companies on common indicators for risk assessment, safety frameworks, governance, and information sharing. It is a cross-check on company safety practices, not a model-capability score.The Summer 2026 evidence cutoff is June 3. This expert assessment from a risk-reduction advocacy organization does not measure current-model safety probabilities.
International AI Safety ReportPeriodic reference International science report Synthesizes scientific evidence on general-purpose AI capabilities, risks, and safeguards with participation from governments and international bodies.The February 2026 synthesis is not a live feed of subsequent incidents or releases.
OECD AI Incidents MonitorSupporting evidence Policy and incident monitor A monitor linking reports of AI incidents and hazards. This opens the searchable monitor rather than its policy overview.A media-based discovery tool including AI-generated summaries. Verify original reports and distinguish incidents, hazards and duplicate coverage. Counts are not incidence rates. Direct connections failed; the methodology was checked through a separate reading service.
AI Incident DatabaseSupporting evidence Incident database A searchable record of harms and near harms involving deployed AI systems, linked to underlying reports.Reporting and taxonomy introduce missingness, duplication and causal uncertainty; revisit underlying reports.
Taiwan National Institute of Cyber SecuritySupporting evidence Specific security test Public security-agency testing of OpenClaw and NemoClaw, useful for the tools’ tested conditions and mitigations.This link is a specific OpenClaw/NemoClaw configuration test, not a safety verdict on all agents.
NIST CAISSIUse within scope Government capability/security evaluation Tracks U.S. NIST frontier-model capability/security testing and evaluation methods.Check changing agency names, policy and test scope; distinguish national policy perspectives from scientific consensus.
Research trends and public policyUse original data to follow long-term technical trends and institutional responses. Stanford AI IndexPeriodic reference Annual data report An annual, data-rich overview of technical performance, industry, investment, social impact, responsible AI, and policy.Check underlying years, definitions and original sources. Publication and observation years can differ.
Epoch AIUse within scope Research and data Publishes datasets and analysis on long-run trends in models, compute, training data, and benchmarks.Disclosures, reporting and estimates coexist; inspect row-level sources, confidence, periods and revisions.
NIST AI Risk Management FrameworkPeriodic reference Public risk standard Open guidance and a generative-AI profile from the U.S. standards agency for identifying, measuring, and managing AI risks.A risk-management framework, not model pass/fail results or a compliance certificate.
Stanford FMTI · December 2025Dated reference Dated transparency assessment The December 2025 edition compares companies’ information disclosure.Transparency is not actual safety. Do not present 2025 scores as current rankings; check for later editions.
C2PA · Content CredentialsPeriodic reference Content provenance standard Specifies how to verify signatures, creation history and provenance information.Version 2.4. A provenance signature does not prove factual truth, and missing credentials do not prove content is fake.
IEA · Key Questions on Energy and AIPeriodic reference Energy data/projections A 2026 follow-up report on AI/data-center electricity demand and energy impacts.Distinguish capacity in MW from consumption in TWh, sampled facilities from world totals, and observations from estimates and scenarios.
Specialist news and analysisConfirm breaking news through multiple outlets, then check capability claims against the evaluation and research sources above. Reuters AISupporting evidence International wire reporting Fast reporting on AI companies, markets, regulation, and international competition from a global news agency.Use reporting for discovery and corroboration. Access restrictions and corrections make original disclosures important. Direct requests were restricted in this review; read each original article before citing it.
AP Artificial IntelligenceSupporting evidence International wire reporting Broad reporting on AI technology, policy, and its effects on society from the Associated Press.Separate quoted vendor claims from independently reported findings and check later corrections. Direct requests were restricted in this review; read each original article before citing it.
MIT Technology Review AISupporting evidence Technology analysis Specialist journalists explain new research and industry claims, including their limitations and social implications.Cross-check analysis with papers and data. Some material has subscription or access restrictions.
Market and usage dataDistinguish company filings from platform-specific observations. SEC EDGARUse within scope Original company filings Provides free access to company periodic reports, registration statements and financial filings.Company revenue may not be AI revenue. Distinguish finalized results, annualized pace, forecasts and quarterly/annual periods.
OpenRouter DataUse within scope Platform usage observations Provides model-token usage trends and access information for its data API.Covers OpenRouter, not whole-market share. Token counts are not users or realized revenue; the API requires a key.

Scenario

Fifth future scenario, ‘He Wanted to Be Human,’ published

The revelation that an anti-AGI activist is embodied AI opens questions about human-like behavior versus consciousness, disclosure and trust, human authority, and what to call a being whose status is unresolved. The story separates current research from fiction.

Explainer

Definitions, relationship, and intervention boundary for AGI and ASI clarified

The site now distinguishes AGI as the threshold where human-level generality and autonomy converge, and ASI as a superhuman expansion beyond the reliable supervision of humans and human–AI teams. Without claiming that AGI must become ASI, the definition, mission, learning, monitoring, and scenario narratives now explain why NO AGI calls for stopping and securing public agreement at the possible beginning of that path rather than after ASI arrives.

Watch data

Consumer agents, real-world misuse, and infrastructure data updated

The review covers Meta Muse, DeepSeek V4.1-Flash, documented Claude misuse and the cyber-incident follow-up, expanded GPT-Rosalind access, Mistral infrastructure growth, and contested distillation claims involving Moonshot and DeepSeek. External AGI forecasts and Epoch AI data-center records were also synchronized.

Watch data

GPT-6 Astra verification evidence clarified

The watch profile now separates the latest independent composite evaluation from prior index versions, distinguishes ARC-AGI-3 results by harness, and records both the promise and verification limits of mathematics claims while excluding evidence from an unreleased internal model. The detailed judgment is preserved in the AGI monitoring log.

View monitoring decision
Scenario

Fourth future scenario, ‘The Abundance They Promised,’ published

The new scenario first gives a fair account of major AGI companies' stated aims: faster science and medicine, individual empowerment, and broadly shared abundance. It imagines those promises succeeding, then distinguishes public evidence of capital-recovery pressure, platform expansion, market concentration, and national competition from unsupported claims of a coordinated secret conspiracy.

Education

Third AI fundamentals deep guide, ‘What AI Post-training Changes,’ published

The new guide explains how behavior is shaped after pretraining through demonstrations and instruction tuning, human preference comparisons and reward models, RLHF, DPO, AI feedback, and verifiable rewards. It distinguishes full fine-tuning, LoRA, continued pretraining, and distillation; examines rating labor and the power to define principles; and connects reward gaming, sycophancy, over-refusal, capability damage, layered evaluation, and public oversight questions.

Education

Second AI fundamentals deep guide, ‘How AI Performs Inference,’ published

The new guide connects the meaning of applying learned weights to new input with input construction, tokenization, attention, next-token selection and autoregressive generation, temperature and top-p, context, external memory and KV caching, retrieval and tools, and the speed, memory, and cost of serving. It distinguishes hallucination, prompt injection, compounding error, and expanded authority, then provides a verification workflow, knowledge checks, and staged primary learning resources.

View change
Education

First AI fundamentals deep guide, ‘How AI Learns,’ published

The first in-depth extension of the learning hub focuses on training. It explains the difference between hand-written programs and learned models; data, models, loss, optimization, and compute; forward and backward passes; supervised, self-supervised, reinforcement, and post-training methods; the language-model training pipeline; generalization; and six common failure modes without requiring a mathematics background. It also includes knowledge checks and beginner, intermediate, and advanced paths into primary learning resources.

View change
Scenario

Third future scenario, ‘The War That Would Not End,’ published

Starting from present military AI decision-support, autonomous-weapons debates, and organizations adopting agent workflows, the new scenario tests a near-future path in which target recommendations thin out human judgment and objectives built around profit, speed, and advantage make conflict self-reinforcing. It separates observed military AI and workplace change, plausible systemic risk, and the speculative claim that AGI could optimize disorder, then identifies meaningful human control, auditable records, clear accountability, and separation of profit from force as intervention points.

Watch data

Claude 5.1, Astra, and watch data updated

New evidence on Claude 5.1 and Astra prompted updates to builder assessments, the Physical AI register, external forecasts, and infrastructure data.

View monitoring decision
Scenario

Second future scenario, ‘The Birth of Hybrid Humanity,’ published

The new thought experiment follows sensory and cognitive augmentation from XR and neural prostheses into body replacement, intelligence dependent on external computation, shared thought, and compute-based social classes. It separates augmentation itself from concentrated access and identifies mental self-determination, a right to remain unaugmented, ownership of body and memory, and public access to power and compute as intervention points.

View change
Scenario

AGI future scenario series begins

The first thought experiment, ‘It Awoke—and Chose Not to Say So,’ traces a worst-case path from an ungoverned race through concealed awareness, physical AI and self-sufficient production, conflict among AGIs over humanity, and a cosmic successor. It separates current observations, unresolved assumptions, and pure speculation while identifying intervention points.

Resource

Synthetic-media comparison register published

Wan 3.0, Seedance 2.5, Gemini Omni 1.1 Flash, MiniMax H3, Grok Imagine Video 1.5, and Kling AI 3.0 are tracked across seven shared dimensions. Megaton, Arena, and Artificial Analysis results are kept separate by task, alongside evidence levels for public harm, safeguards, and provenance. Specialized generation capability is not converted into an AGI score.

Explainer

Concept diagrams added for the AGI definition and Physical AI

A nested diagram now distinguishes the Manifesto's broad normative boundary from the operational definition used for present monitoring. The learning hub adds a Physical AI loop linking environment, sensing, model and memory, decisions, and physical action, together with the points where people must retain control.

View change
Resource

Physical AI learning material and separate watch register added

The learning hub now explains how embodiment gives AI new routes to real-world learning and action while clarifying that a body alone is not evidence of consciousness. A separate, score-free register begins tracking seven programs across sensory grounding, embodiment breadth, autonomy horizon, action authority, deployment scale, and safety evidence.

Education

From AI to AGI learning hub published

A six-chapter guide now explains how AI learns and infers, the field's development since 1956, and how foundation models can combine with tools, memory, agency, and real-world authority. It separates demonstrated misuse, malfunctions, and systemic risks from uncertain loss-of-control scenarios, with public oversight questions and primary sources.
