Who we areAI Signals is an independent research project. We are not paid by, and not part of, any company on this map.
What this isA live intelligence map of the tech industry: who the most powerful companies, investors and governments are, how they’re connected, where the money goes, and what it means for everyone else.
How it’s madeBuilt from public filings, company announcements, government records and news reporting. Every fact links to its source, and anything not confirmed is labeled. Refreshed every Monday.
What this is · how to use it (tap to hide)
Tech & AI Power Map shows who holds power in technology: about 120 companies, funds and governments, and the money, ownership and supply deals that connect them, as of October 2026.
Tap any colored square below. Each square is one company.
The screen at the top shows that company: what it does, who runs it, its value and its biggest connections.
Squares that blink are companies connected to the one you picked. Dim squares are not connected.
Turn the glowing knobs (drag up or down, or tap) to filter what lights up.
Use the buttons along the bottom to switch screens: full company file, Ask AI, Intel analysis, Jobs, Government contracts, Agency ties and more.

War Machine · what this screen isHow Big Tech and AI plug into the Pentagon and the spy agencies: the people who move between them (the revolving door), the big defense programs tech companies work on, the money and partnerships between tech and defense firms, and every military or intel tie on the map. Public record only. Every item links to its source. A tie is a fact, not an accusation.

The revolving door
Generals, spy chiefs and Pentagon officials who went into tech, and tech executives who went into the Pentagon or put on a uniform. Tap a name for details and source.
Defense programs tech is building
Major Pentagon, intel and space programs with tech or AI companies involved. Dollar figures are as reported: a ceiling is the most that can be spent, not what has been paid.

Field manual
What this site is, how to use it, and where everything comes from. Plain text, no tricks.
What this is
Tech & AI Power Map is an independent research tool from AI Signals. It maps who controls artificial intelligence and Big Tech: about 140 companies, funds and governments, the money and ownership that connect them, their government contracts, their ties to the Pentagon and intelligence agencies, and the people who move between them.
It is built from the public record: company filings, government contract databases, court records, official announcements and news reporting. Every fact links to its source. Anything not confirmed is labeled unverified. A connection on this map is a fact, not an accusation.
Who it's for
Journalists and researchers: sourced leads, citations and the open-questions board.
Investors: company files, money flows, stress tests and the daily Opening Bell.
Anyone curious about who really runs the technology everyone uses.
Getting around
Bottom bar: jump to any room.
Top-left bar: Back, Forward, Home and Sound on/off. The trail next to it shows where you are.
Glowing pads: tap one to open that company or filter the page.
Knobs: drag up or down, or tap, to change what the page shows.
Drop-downs: tap any heading with a + to open it.
Keyboard: Alt + ← / → to go back or forward; Esc closes full-screen views.
The rooms
The opening command center. Live counters, the Subject Matrix (64 biggest companies, a pad flashes when there's fresh news), the Surveillance Sweep radar and the Intercepts feed. Below it: Classified, the Opening Bell and shortcuts to every room.
Pick any company. You get a radar of everything it's connected to, a plain-English summary, who runs it, who owns it, money in and out, government contracts, agency ties, hiring, contacts, news, and a Deep Research File (bull vs bear case, balance sheet, who controls it, supply chain, China exposure, lawsuits and open questions).
Every company on one board. Rows are size, columns are sector, lines are deals. Tap a sector pad to light it up; use the Links knob to show only ownership, money or deal lines.
Stress tests (what breaks if a company disappears), power rankings, money flows, red flags and what to watch.
How tech plugs into the Pentagon and spy agencies: the revolving door, defense programs, tech-defense deals and every military or intel tie.
The late-night read: Flock cameras and the surveillance state, drones and robots built for war, AI that went off-script, and a Defend Yourself checklist. Press Lights off.
Government contracts, grouped with drop-downs and sub-drop-downs, each with amount and source.
Ties to the CIA, NSA, Pentagon, DOGE, China's military and more, agency by agency.
PhD-level research papers on the forces behind the map, plus the Unknowns board: every open question nobody has answered publicly.
Ask anything in plain English. The AI analyst answers from this site's data and cites it.
The latest stories on every company, newest first.
Who runs what, board overlaps and who moved where.
Who's hiring the general public, layoffs, training programs and how to apply.
Lawsuits, regulators and weak spots.
AI spending and the policy moves in Washington and Beijing.
How often it updates
Every weekday before the open: the Opening Bell (futures, movers on the map, today's calendar).
Every Monday: company values, funding rounds, deals, news, contracts and agency ties.
Using it for a story
Every company file has a Copy citation button and a link straight to that file. Always click through to the original source before you publish; this site is a map to the record, not a substitute for it.
Fine print
Not investment advice. Nothing here tells you to buy or sell anything.
Public record only. No leaked, hacked or private data.
AI helps gather and organize the research. Errors are possible; sources are always shown so you can check.
The "restricted system" look is a design style. This is not a government website.

Stock intel · who's rising, who's fading
Stock intel · what this screen isOnly the companies on this map, not the whole market. For each one: is it public or private, what the stock is doing, whether it's breaking out or fading, its next earnings date and its latest news. Charts show the last 12 months and where the price sits in its 52-week range. Facts and signals only, never a buy or sell recommendation.
Signals are labels based on price trend, 52-week position and recent news, from public data. Not investment advice. Prices as of the date shown; live prices arrive when the site moves to its own domain.
The Archive · restricted research
Research library · what this screen isIn-depth research papers on the forces behind the map: who really makes money from AI, how money loops between companies, the chip bottlenecks, the power grid, the US–China split, Gulf money, defense tech and the economics of the AI labs. Each paper has the key numbers, sourced sections, the live debates, the open questions and a reading list. Tap a paper to open it.
Unknowns board
Every open research question on the site in one place: what is not publicly known, why it matters and what evidence would answer it. These are the leads.

The paper trail · government contracts
Government contracts · what this screen isMoney governments have awarded to these companies: contracts, grants, loans and subsidies. Tap a company to open its agencies, then tap an agency to see each award with amount, date and source.
Contracts, grants, loans and subsidies from governments to every company on this map. “Ceiling” is the most a contract can pay; “obligated” is money actually committed. Totals add documented figures and mix both, so read them as scale, not exact spend. Shared ceilings (JWCC, the CIA’s C2E cloud) and OneGov savings estimates are shown on each row but left out of totals so they aren’t counted twice.
