Live intelligence tracking AI and robotics adoption velocity across finance, property, crypto, and the global economy — updated weekly.
The MachineHours AI Acceleration Index is a composite score from zero to one hundred measuring how fast intelligent machines are entering the real economy. It is built from five sub-indices — venture and corporate capital flows, compute infrastructure buildout, frontier model capability, enterprise adoption, and the lagging employment response — each weighted to reflect the evidence on how AI transitions actually compound. The headline number is recalculated weekly and the underlying components are revised as new data arrives, so the index reads as a live instrument rather than a static snapshot.
The index sits at the centre of an acceleration intelligence hub. Below the score, readers will find the live indicator panel that feeds it, the long-form analysis briefings that argue what the current reading implies for capital allocation, the encyclopedia entries that define each underlying concept, and the news flow that has moved the components most recently. The dedicated domains panel translates the composite into the sectors investors actually trade — real estate, cryptocurrency, equity markets, employment, and bubble risk — so the score is never abstract.
Acceleration is not a forecast. It is a measurement of present velocity, anchored to evidence and revised as the evidence changes. Use the navigation controls on the key takeaways card to scroll back through past readings, the sub-score breakdown to see which components are driving the current level, and the cross-linked briefings to audit the reasoning behind any conclusion.
