The edition follows persistent agents and falling model prices alongside voluntary oversight, financing commitments and infrastructure constraints. It also reports biomedical advances, public-policy changes and disputes over model honesty, safety and moral status.
This independent, non-endorsed index attributes reporting to Dr. Alex Wissner-Gross. Original summaries preserve uncertainty around planned financing, deployments and attributed claims. The Australia follow-up states that patient records were not accessed. Linked-source claims have not been independently verified.
