Gone quiet · Oracle, UK Government, Cohere — each carried eight or more events in the archive and none in the last ninety days.

Listed vs not · 48.5% of coverage we can classify by listing status goes to companies that are not publicly traded — effectively unchanged from 49.6% the quarter before. OpenAI and Anthropic alone account for 22.1% of every named-subject event in the archive. Listing status is a maintained list, not archive data; it covers 51.7% of named-subject events.

Method

Every figure is a full count of the archive, not a sample. Coverage runs 25 Mar 2025 to 01 Aug 2026.

Shares are reported rather than totals because publishing volume is not constant — 516 events in the current window against 1,013 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.

Massive artificial intelligence infrastructure investments and soaring chip demand drive record corporate revenues alongside escalating debt and grid strain. Meanwhile, global regulators enforce strict content labelling, and researchers expose security vulnerabilities in autonomous agent models.
