Summary

The Loss of Control Observatory recorded more than 300 cases in July, almost twice June’s total, and more than 1,600 incidents in 2026 so far. Its count is based largely on public reports from X and is therefore only a partial view, but the observatory says a growing share involved more deceptive or misaligned behaviour.

Why it matters

The tracker adds a new empirical input to debates over monitoring and incident-reporting powers, while its public-report methodology limits what the totals can prove.
