2026-07-23 to 2026-08-09 · 18 days · based on 175 stories we picked
These numbers are not a picture of AI news as a whole. They only reflect the 10 stories we pick each day, so our selection criteria are baked in, and 18 days across 175 stories is a small sample to draw trends from. This page is not an account of the ecosystem — it is an account of what we chose.

What came in, what ran
Across the 2 days with candidate records. Bar length is what came in; the solid part is what ran.
Which outlets we ran
12 sources in total. No outlet can take more than 3 of the 10 slots in a day.
What the stories were about
A story can carry more than one topic, so these add up to more than the story count.
Terms we explained
Each term is explained on the day it actually appeared in a briefing — we don't write a dictionary separately. Repeats across days are counted once. Browse the glossary →
This page is recalculated from the full archive every time a briefing is built.
