We built something. Not a dashboard, not a report, not another data visualization that looks impressive but tells you nothing actionable. We built a ruler. A ruler that measures the same thing — instability — whether you point it at a country, a city, or a neighbourhood. The same 0-to-1 scale. The same formula. The same question: how close is this place to falling apart?

When the Economy Collapses, the Government Follows: Mapping the Dependency Between Economic and Political Instability
Venezuela's GDP contracted by more than 80 percent between 2013 and 2021 — one of the largest peacetime economic collapses ever recorded. Its political system, meanwhile, had not yet fully collapsed when the economy began its descent. The government survived by concentrating power, suppressing opposition, and externalizing blame. But the sequence is unmistakable: the economy fell first, and pol...
The World Is Less Violent Than in 2000. It Is Also Less Stable. Here Is Why.
The conflict proxy score — our model's aggregate measure of active armed conflict intensity across 87 countries — has fallen from 6.85 in 2000 to 5.20 in 2023. That is a 24% decline over 23 years. By the oldest and most intuitive measure of global danger, the world is meaningfully safer than it was at the turn of the millennium.
The Algorithm That Watches the World Fall Apart
This article describes the development and deployment of the World Stability Intelligence (WSI) system — a machine learning-driven geopolitical risk monitoring platform that continuously tracks 87 countries across three risk dimensions: war risk (45%), political risk (35%), and economic risk (20%). Drawing on an ML-enhanced heuristic prediction framework (HPF-P), the system generates normalized...
The Ratepayer Protection Pledge: Trump’s AI Energy Gambit and the Geopolitics of Power
On March 4, 2026, seven of the world's most powerful technology corporations — Amazon, Google, Meta, Microsoft, OpenAI, Oracle, and xAI — signed the Ratepayer Protection Pledge at the White House, committing to absorb the full cost of electricity generation required by their artificial intelligence data centers. The pledge, announced by President Trump in his State of the Union address and form...
Anthropic’s Pentagon Pivot: How a Safety-First AI Lab Became a Defense Partner — and Then a Security Risk
In March 2026, Anthropic — the AI safety company founded on the explicit premise that frontier AI poses existential risk — found itself simultaneously deployed in active US military operations against Iran and designated a "supply chain risk" by the Department of Defense. This paradox encapsulates a deeper geopolitical inflection point: the collision between constitutional AI governance framewo...
Survival as a Strategy: Ukraine’s AI Trajectory in War and Peace
We can already observe the development and implementation of artificial intelligence in various spheres of human activity. And, strange as it may seem, Ukraine's success in using advanced technologies, particularly in the military sphere, is logically and predictably driven by its need to survive in a challenging war against a powerful adversary. While the use of artificial intelligence in othe...
Ukraine’s AI Duality: World Leader in Battlefield Systems, Lagging in Civil Adoption
Ukraine has emerged as the most intensively documented front-line AI deployment environment in recorded conflict history — simultaneously pioneering battlefield AI systems that have reshaped NATO's operational doctrine and building a surprisingly resilient civil e-governance infrastructure under active wartime conditions. Yet beneath these headline achievements lies a stark bifurcation: Ukraine...
Decision-Cycle Compression in AI-Augmented Warfare: Ukraine and the Indian Ocean Engagement
This paper presents a comparative analysis of AI-assisted decision systems in two empirically distinct kinetic environments: the ongoing Russo-Ukrainian war (2022–2026), which constitutes the most extensively documented contemporary frontline proving of AI-augmented battlefield management, and the sinking of the Iranian Navy frigate IRIS Dena by USS Charlotte on 4 March 2026 in the Indian Ocean...
Middle East AI Investment Surge: AWS Saudi Arabia and the Race for Regional AI Dominance
The Middle East has emerged as one of the world's most contested AI infrastructure battlegrounds, with Gulf states deploying trillions in sovereign wealth to position themselves as neutral nodes in an increasingly fragmented global AI order. Amazon Web Services' $5.3 billion Saudi Arabia cloud region—augmented by an additional $5 billion AI Zone built in partnership with HUMAIN, a Public Invest...
