The Global AGI Landscape

What appears

Signals an editor has reviewed and published, and items from monitored official sources that passed an automated AI check, which are labelled “Published automatically”. Each one cites at least one public source, or is labelled as editorial analysis with its methodology. Withdrawn signals are removed.

Locations

We use the least precise location that is still useful. A pin marks a city or a public site. When a signal is located only to a country, a dashed ring marks the country instead of a pin, so the map never suggests an exact site. Signals without an established location are listed but not mapped. We do not map personal locations.

Timestamps

Event time, source publication time, and the time we retrieved a source are shown separately. Missing values are shown as unknown, never guessed. The timeline replays published records; it is not live telemetry.

Freshness and updates

The page checks for new data every minute. Source freshness is reported on its own: a working update check does not mean the sources are current. New signals appear after review or an automated check, and a site release.

Verified connections

Animated lines are drawn only for documented, editor-approved relationships between places, such as a sourced research collaboration or a verified deployment, each with its sources and dates. None are inferred, and no line is drawn to decorate the map. When none qualify, none are shown.

No scores

Markers do not encode severity or confidence. A proposed evidence method is under methodology review and is not published: no region shows a score.

Domains

• AI Risk: Capability releases, alignment failures, and loss-of-control concerns.
• Biosecurity: Synthetic biology, pathogens, and dual-use life-science developments.
• Cyber Warfare: Offensive AI, autonomous weapons, and attacks on critical infrastructure.
• Cognitive Manipulation: Information operations, synthetic media, and psychological influence.
• Surveillance State: State and corporate surveillance infrastructure and governance.
• Energy Systems: Grid fragility, compute energy demand, and resource competition.
• Environment: Climate tipping points, geoengineering, and ecological systems.
• Transhumanism: Human augmentation, neurotechnology, and brain-computer interfaces.

Projection

A 3D globe seen from space (orthographic view): only the near side is visible, so turn it to see the rest. The flat map shown when a browser cannot draw the globe is equirectangular.

Disputed places

Some borders are disputed. Where the sources disagree, the map follows the Natural Earth dataset as published and marks the place with a note. Showing a place on the map, or leaving it unmarked, is not a statement about who controls it or what status it should have. Kosovo, Palestine, Western Sahara, Taiwan, Crimea, Kashmir, Somaliland and Northern Cyprus are named in this note. Palestine is shown under the name the source gives. The note states that the name is disputed; it is not a ruling on borders.
