Last 30 days · all topics · Oct 16 – Nov 14 · moves forward with every edition
How positive or negative our news was, on a scale from 1.0 (extremely negative) to 10.0 (extremely positive). AI scores every story with a scoring guide for tech and AI news. There is no neutral middle: every story leans positive (6.0 and above) or negative (4.9 and below). It describes our stories, not all AI news. How we rate the mood
