What we do
Monitor
Continuous scanning of news, social media, incident databases, regulatory filings, litigation records, and frontier lab disclosures — separating meaningful risk indicators from noise.
Classify
Each pipeline applies its own taxonomy and scoring rubric. Our default framework uses the MIT Risk Domain Taxonomy and a multi-dimensional severity scale based on CSET's taxonomy of AI harm. Partners can define their own classification logic for specialist use cases. Every classification captures reasoning for full traceability.
Analyse
Cross-source correlation exposes patterns that no single database can reveal. We track whether harm types are emerging, expanding, or being brought under control. We identify escalation pathways and flag near-misses - cases where different conditions would have caused far greater harm.
Recently Reported Incidents, Hazards and Risk Updates
Recently reported incidents, hazards and risk updates classified by risk domain, harm category and severity. Incidents are defined as events where AI contributed to harm caused. Hazards are events where harm could have been caused by AI if circumstances had been different (e.g. near-misses). Risk Updates are reports that may contain information useful to update assessment of the likelihood of specific future harms, such as a newly demonstrated dangerous capability, jailbreak technique or safety bypass.
