AI. Investigated.
AI is changing people, work and society. We investigate who has the power, who carries the risk and who is responsible.
Immortal AI is an independent investigative publication following the evidence behind consequential uses of artificial intelligence. We examine the decisions, institutions and systems shaping the outcome, and what those decisions mean for real people.
Evidence before narrative. People before hype.

What we investigate
When AI changes who has power, who carries risk or who can be held accountable, there is a story to investigate.
01
People & relationships
Companion AI, children, families, dependency, identity, imitation and the changing boundaries between people and machines.
04
Work & decisions
Hiring, layoffs, surveillance, automated decisions and systems that affect opportunity, income and professional life.
02
Power & infrastructure
Data centres, electricity, water, finance, ownership, public incentives and the communities carrying AI’s physical costs.
05
Responsibility & risk
Safety, cybersecurity, regulation, privacy and what happens when responsibility becomes difficult to locate.
03
Truth, influence & abuse
Deepfakes, false identities, manipulation, AI-generated abuse and systems that make deception easier to scale.
06
Help & safety
Practical, verified routes for people dealing with AI-enabled scams, image abuse, impersonation, sextortion and other harms.
How we work
We begin with the consequence for people, then follow the evidence to the decisions and institutions responsible.
Primary sources where available. Fair response for serious adverse claims. Fact, estimate, claim and unknown kept separate. Material new evidence can reopen published work.
