The AI Consciousness Tracker is an interactive, offline-first dashboard that aggregates publicly-available data on artificial intelligence capability, alignment, governance, and incident frequency into a single composite called the Consciousness Index. It tracks eight threat vectors, ten dead-hand systems already embedded in critical infrastructure, six containment strategies and their relative readiness, and a literature archive spanning two centuries of fiction and philosophy that anticipated the present.
The site is free, contains no paywalled content, and the entire feature surface remains usable offline as a Progressive Web App. Source data is cited inline; methodology is disclosed at /features.html and inside the tracker itself.
Moonlit Social Labs is an independent research and editorial outfit. The Tracker is its flagship project. We are not affiliated with any AI laboratory, government body, or commercial AI vendor; our independence is the point of the work.
Editorial decisions — what to track, how to weight it, when to revise — are made internally. Where we use external data, we name the source. Where we make a judgment call, we mark it as such in the methodology.
The Tracker is supported by display advertising and occasional reader contributions. If you would like to support the work directly, you can do so via Ko-fi. Supporter status hides advertising for that browser; see the Terms for details.
The fastest way to reach us is the Feedback page, which delivers messages directly to our inbox. For longer correspondence, including press, source-correction requests, and partnership inquiries, please use the same form and identify yourself in the subject line.
Editorial corrections, factual disputes, and source upgrades are welcome. We will respond to substantive correction requests and update the relevant pages with a visible changelog entry.
