AI Midnight — 42.3/100 (Elevated)

2026-W12 · -0.2

This week's index moves only slightly upward. The strongest signal is a cluster of AI-enabled deepfake scams causing financial harm, plus research showing continuing pressure on LLM safeguards through prompt injection, jailbreaks, and compound-system attacks. There is also a cautious governance concern from a newsletter claim that a frontier lab removed a safety commitment, but the evidence is secondary. The dossier does not show catastrophic incidents, real-world loss of control, or confirmed severe dangerous-capability thresholds being crossed.

A conventional composite index, not a scientific probability of extinction.
