AI
Artificial Intelligence — Computer systems that perform tasks that normally require human intelligence — language, vision, prediction, reasoning.
Coverage of AI is rising : 345 signals on the latest tracked day, down 28% from its three-week baseline of 482, across 71 domains (up from 59 a week ago). That makes it the #1 most-covered of the 292 concerns we track.
If AI matters to your work, coverage is climbing off its baseline — worth a closer-than-usual look this week.
What’s changed
7 of the last 7 tracked days ran below the three-week baseline — a sustained cooling, not a one-day dip.
