Over time

How the map readings, incidents and news change, for the world or for one country. Each series has its own pace: readings every week, incidents by month, news by day. How it works.

How much attention AI use deserves in each country

Attention over time

Attention over time: 16 Oct 2026 (version v0.1): 48.3 · 18 Oct 2026 (version v0.2): 48.1 · 19 Oct 2026 (version v0.4): 49.8 · 26 Oct 2026 (version v0.4): 49.8 · 2 Nov 2026 (version v0.4): 49.5 · 9 Nov 2026 (version v0.4): 49.5 · 11 Nov 2026: 36.1.

  • 18 Oct 2026: The site moves to index v0.2: countries inferred from the text and severity of incidents
  • 19 Oct 2026: The site moves to index v0.4: incidents on a fixed scale, with a weight that grows with their number
  • 11 Nov 2026: The site moves to index v0.6: fixed weights (incidents can only add), fixed incident scale, monthly weight, incidents with many countries at 1/N, episodes from the same source counted once, safeguards half institutions and half AI measures

Incidents by month

all incidents, including those without a country

Incidents by year: 2016: 41 · 2017: 51 · 2018: 46 · 2019: 45 · 2020: 91 · 2021: 80 · 2022: 109 · 2023: 179 · 2024: 312 · 2025: 463 · 2026: 296 (incomplete).

Sources record many incidents weeks or months later: these months are still incomplete.

AI news by day

Articles in the last 33 collected days, 167,709 in total: 31 Oct: 2,466 articles · 1 Nov: 2,007 articles · 2 Nov: 5,355 articles · 3 Nov: 5,455 articles · 4 Nov: 5,650 articles · 5 Nov: 5,923 articles · 6 Nov: 6,861 articles · 7 Nov: 2,476 articles · 8 Nov: 2,055 articles · 9 Nov: 5,209 articles · 10 Nov: 7,009 articles · 11 Nov: 6,134 articles · 12 Nov: 6,272 articles · 13 Nov: 5,780 articles.

Volume of articles, not of stories: a story picked up by many outlets counts many times.

3 · Two dates compared

World: the five readings on 16 Oct 2026 and on 11 Nov 2026 and the difference

Between the two dates something changed in the sources:
  • 18 Oct 2026: The site moves to index v0.2: countries inferred from the text and severity of incidents
  • 19 Oct 2026: The site moves to index v0.4: incidents on a fixed scale, with a weight that grows with their number
  • 11 Nov 2026: The site moves to index v0.6: fixed weights (incidents can only add), fixed incident scale, monthly weight, incidents with many countries at 1/N, episodes from the same source counted once, safeguards half institutions and half AI measures

Between the two dates the index changed version (before: v0.1, v0.2, v0.4): the computations of earlier versions are grey in the chart.
