How close is AI to the threshold?
Q16 measures the trajectory toward advanced AI with the Singularity Index, and monitors how the labs building it handle your data with Frontier Watch.
One number for the distance closed.
An expert-elicitation assessment of how far AI has closed the gap to the superintelligence threshold, on a 0.0–1.0 scale. Frontier Watch tracks new capability signals continuously; the Index is refreshed when a new elicitation wave completes. A score is read as distance closed — 0.4 means 40% of the way.
How the Index is builtThe Youth Signal — what the front line sees.
A standing panel of high-school students who use these tools every day, read on the same axis as the expert index. Two takes on one frontier: the experts’ judgment, and the people already living inside it.
Tracked as a parallel leading indicator, never blended with the expert score. Launching soon.

Live capability and data-privacy scoring for each frontier lab, with alerts the moment a lab changes its terms.

Q16 is structured as a public benefit corporation because the baseline read — where capability stands and how labs handle data — should be public. The core readings are free; depth and timing are what members pay for.
