The record behind this page is public and citable. Every figure has a dated row behind it, and the rows are at https://monitor.paciva.ai/api/ledger

# Topics

The same record, sorted into fourteen topics by one [published keyword rule](https://monitor.paciva.ai/technique#topics) per topic that anyone can re-run by hand. An item can sit in several topics, and coverage by country and language has its own page: [the world view](https://monitor.paciva.ai/world). Counts cover the last seven days and refresh with the collector.

Every number is computed from the items in view against the published rules. [The rules, verbatim.](https://monitor.paciva.ai/technique#topics)

Snapshot 2026-11-11, updated Nov 11, 7:27 AM EST.

### General AI

Broad AI developments that do not match a more specific topic.

### Slop

AI generated filler: synthetic articles, spam content, low effort media, and the fight against it.

### Power & Datacenters

The buildout: campuses, gigawatts, grid strain, cooling, and where the compute physically lives.

### Industry Deals

The money: rounds, valuations, acquisitions, partnerships, and public market moves.

### Safety & Risk

The risk conversation: safety research, warnings, incidents, and the argument about all three. This lane feeds the Coverage Intensity Index.

### Model Releases & Benchmarks

New models, capabilities, evals, and how the labs stack up.

### Policy & Regulation

What governments do: bills, rules, enforcement, and the lobbying around them.

### Privacy

Personal data, surveillance, and what AI systems know about people.

### Security

Offense and defense: breaches, AI-assisted attacks, model exploits, and espionage.

### Economy

Jobs, wages, productivity, inference costs, markets and the AI trade, and what AI does to the numbers.

### Open vs Closed Source

Open weights against closed labs: licenses, releases, and the argument over who gets the technology.

### Robotics & World Models

Embodied AI: humanoids, world models, autonomous vehicles, and machines in physical space.

### Chips

Silicon and supply: GPUs, custom accelerators, fabs, and export controls.

### Events

The circuit: developer days, summits, conferences, and what gets announced on stage.

The exact rule behind every topic is printed on the [technique page](https://monitor.paciva.ai/technique#topics). A headline that matches no rule still appears on the [wire](https://monitor.paciva.ai/#wire), whatever the model guessed about it.

## Research from Paciva, filed by topic

6 reports Paciva has published, gathered here with the topic each was filed under. They reach 4 of the 14 topics on this page; the other 10 have none yet. Paciva also publishes this Monitor; that interest is disclosed [on the masthead](https://monitor.paciva.ai/about#masthead).

### The AI Slop Report 2026

40 percent of 1,150 desk workers received AI workslop in a month, near two hours and $186 per incident.

### The Graymail Economy Report 2026

The annual benchmark on graymail and inbound noise: over 361.6 billion daily messages, and $12,796 per employee per year.

### The State of Agents 2026

A review of 20 agent offerings across 200 evidence cells found 7 documented expansions in what agents are trusted to do.

### Privacy Follows Capability

Privacy risk grows with what an AI can see, remember, infer, connect to, and do. A framework for routing tasks by sensitivity and authority.

### The Collaboration Tax 2026

Most of the workday is not the job. How the best teams cut the coordination overhead between the work.

### The Resource Abundance Paradox

88 percent of organizations use AI. 6 percent get real value from it. The gap, measured, and what closes it.
