Nov 2026 ### SI is building SI After 11 weeks inside Anthropic, METR reported the company is using SI to build more powerful SI, with models improving about twice as fast as a year earlier. [The Verge](https://www.theverge.com/ai-artificial-intelligence/1029126/anthropic-metr-report-accelerating-ai-development) Sep 2026 ### Lab leaders asked to slow down Anthropic CEO Dario Amodei called for a development slowdown, and Sam Altman and Elon Musk said they agreed. [Center for AI Safety](https://newsletter.safe.ai/p/aisn-81-anthropic-researchers-resignation) Sep 2026 ### The public noticed An Anthropic researcher resigned over extinction risk. His post passed 170 million views and pushed SI risk into mainstream news. [Center for AI Safety](https://newsletter.safe.ai/p/aisn-81-anthropic-researchers-resignation) Sep 2026 ### Countries want human control At the UN General Assembly, 22 countries led by Finland and Norway adopted a declaration that SI must stay under human control. [Future of Life Institute](https://futureoflife.org/statement/statement-world-leaders-at-the-un-call-to-rein-in-superintelligence-race/) Sep 2026 ### Voluntary rules, for now Six US companies signed the White House Accord on Super Intelligence, committing to internal controls and outside audits. The commitments are voluntary. [Center for AI Safety](https://newsletter.safe.ai/p/aisn-83-six-ai-companies-sign-white) Apr 2026 ### A kill switch reaches the White House Asked whether SI needs safeguards or a kill switch, President Trump said “there should be.” [Future of Life Institute](https://futureoflife.org/statement/trumps-support-for-an-ai-kill-switch/) Method ## How the meter is counted Simple, public and the same every time, so the number means something when it moves. ### 1 · Read the feeds Every 10 minutes the watch reads the public feeds of 18 desks at 15 publishers and research groups, from The New York Times to the Center for AI Safety. ### 2 · Keep SI stories Only headlines about super intelligence count. Research groups appear in the feed but never in the meter, so the number measures mainstream coverage only. ### 3 · Measure the share A story counts as rogue SI when its headline or summary covers loss of control, safety, alignment, kill switches, deception, hacking or extinction risk. The meter is that share over 7 days. The meter is a keyword index, not a poll. It shows direction and pace, and individual stories can be classified imperfectly. Snapshot: Nov 8, 2026, 00:33 UTC.
