Why This Matters

As artificial intelligence systems grow more autonomous and deeply embedded in critical sectors, the risk of unforeseen and cascading consequences becomes increasingly real. These are no longer distant hypotheticals or science fiction scenarios — they are emerging realities. AI is now actively influencing military operations, amplifying the reach and precision of misinformation campaigns, and contributing to disruptions in global labor markets and economic structures. As these technologies scale, small misalignments can yield disproportionate outcomes, and the absence of coherent international governance only compounds the danger.

The Panthrisk AI threat score offers a daily snapshot of this shifting risk landscape. By analyzing global signals — from government policies and corporate activity to research trends and public discourse — we generate a single, digestible metric that reflects the current state of systemic AI risk. Our goal is not to alarm, but to inform. Because the earlier we recognize the contours of emerging threats, the more time we have to shape interventions that promote safety, alignment, and long-term resilience.
