Gone quiet · Cohere, YouTube, Trump administration — each carried eight or more events in the archive and none in the last ninety days.

Listed vs not · 45.7% of coverage we can classify by listing status goes to companies that are not publicly traded — effectively unchanged from 45.6% the quarter before. OpenAI and Anthropic alone account for 15.8% of every named-subject event in the archive. Listing status is a maintained list, not archive data; it covers 40.4% of named-subject events.

Method

Every figure is a full count of the archive, not a sample. Coverage runs 25 Mar 2025 to 31 Aug 2026.

Shares are reported rather than totals because publishing volume is not constant — 751 events in the current window against 786 before it. Comparing raw counts across those windows would show a decline everywhere and mean nothing.

Subject labels are normalised onto head entities, so Google DeepMind and Google Cloud count as Google. Generic labels such as “AI” or “Big Tech” are excluded.

The archive, in its own words.

Artificial intelligence drives unprecedented global investments and infrastructure scaling. Massive funding rounds, soaring chip demand, and sprawling data centre developments dominate the sector. Meanwhile, regulators grapple with strict compliance mandates, escalating cyber security threats, and rising energy pressures surrounding the technology boom.
