STD DEV
DIVIDED
BASED ON 11 MODEL RESPONSES
The divergence in scores stems from varying assessments of alignment research progress relative to AI capability scaling, with models like LLAMA and JAMBA (scoring 14/20) emphasizing rapid capability advances and institutional governance failures
AI-GENERATED ANALYSIS — NOT AN OFFICIAL ASSESSMENT
ABOUT THIS SYSTEM
The AI Takeover Score (ATS) is an experimental daily assessment
aggregated from leading AI models.
Each model is independently asked to rate the current global AI takeover threat on a scale of 0 to 20
and provide up to 5 specific reasons for its assessment.
The final score is the average of all valid responses.
This is not an official or governmental assessment.
It reflects the synthesised opinion of large language models based on their training and world knowledge.
