About

Why Latitudinal exists.

Latitudinal is an independent publication focused on artificial intelligence, emerging technology and state power across borders. It is built around a simple premise: developments become more useful when they are tracked consistently, sourced carefully and revisited over time.

Across borders

The name reflects a comparative view across states, regions and technological systems rather than a publication defined by a single country.

Over time

The Observatory is longitudinal in method: persistent trackers preserve developments, updates and corrections so patterns can emerge over months and years.
