The Attention Deficit

613K+ media items analyzed. AI model research captures 5.65% of all media volume — 34,686 items. Agent security: 762 items (0.12%). AI red teaming: 34 items (0.005%). MCP tool security: 12 items. Supply chain: 25 items. The ratio of capability coverage to security coverage in industry media is approximately 45:1. This is a leading indicator, not a steady state. When a high-profile AI security incident becomes a mainstream story, that attention will correct rapidly — and the talent market, which follows media narrative, will not be ready.

Based on analyzed job-description signals, not proof of any individual company’s internal security maturity.

Media Content by Taxonomy Bucket

Distribution of media items across AI security themes.

Source: public.data.external.media.insights
Media classification is deterministic and directional; high-volume outlets can skew composition.

Spec title: chart_external_media_bucket_distribution

Chart ID: chart_external_media_bucket_distribution

Source: public.data.external.media.insights

Caption: Theme distribution of classified media/news items.

Chart caveat: Media classification is deterministic and directional; high-volume outlets can skew composition.

Deck note: Use composition drift, not maturity claims.

External Signals

Media Signal Volume by Month

Aggregated news and blog volume matching AI security taxonomy.

Source: public.data.external.media.metrics.monthly
Directional media signal from selected public feeds; coverage is source-list dependent and not exhaustive.

Spec title: chart_external_media_items_per_month

Chart ID: chart_external_media_items_per_month

Source: public.data.external.media.metrics.monthly

Caption: Monthly media/news item volume from aggregated feed sources.

Chart caveat: Directional media signal from selected public feeds; coverage is source-list dependent and not exhaustive.

Deck note: Use for cross-source timing comparisons with arXiv and GHArchive.

External Signals

Media Items by Source Category

Distribution of aggregated media items across source categories.

public.data.external.media.insights
Source: public.data.external.media.insights
Directional external signal from public-source aggregation; not proof of any individual organization's internal security maturity.

Spec title: chart_external_media_category_distribution

Chart ID: chart_external_media_category_distribution

Source: public.data.external.media.insights

Caption: Category-level distribution across aggregated media source types.

Chart caveat: Directional external signal from public-source aggregation; not proof of any individual organization's internal security maturity.

Deck note: Frame as directional signal evidence layer, not maturity proof.

Recommended actions

What leaders should do next

Get ahead of the attention correction — build AI security narrative before an incident forces it.
Use media signal inversion as a risk model: what isn't covered is where the risk is accumulating.
Board AI security briefings should explicitly address the media-narrative gap.
