Global AI economy index
The real-time pulse of the global AI economy.
EXO measures the global artificial intelligence economy—not only technology stocks. Five weighted pillars connect markets, adoption, builders, capital and improving intelligence.
During this first live phase, intraday movement is driven by verified public development activity while market and structural pillars remain held at their latest published observations. Additional licensed intraday feeds will broaden the live pulse over time.
Artificial intelligence is still an emerging, fragmented market. Its progress is spread across public markets, infrastructure, adoption, capital, developer activity and technological breakthroughs. The EXO Global AI Index brings these signals together into a single, interpretable measure designed to show not just where AI is today, but the direction in which the broader AI economy is moving.
Verified monthly backtest observations · Oct 2023–Sep 2026
In this first live phase Development may account for nearly all intraday movement, because Markets, Adoption, Capital and Innovation are held at their latest published observations.
The AI economy does not report a single number. EXO compresses fragmented signals—traded infrastructure, adoption, builder activity, capital and efficiency—into one interpretable measure of direction of travel, rather than a price.
EXO AI Index · v0.3
Five pillars measure the economy around AI, from traded infrastructure to adoption and technical progress.
Tracks public markets and the infrastructure that powers AI. It will be the main high-frequency intraday component.
Measures how quickly companies and people are putting AI to work.
Measures the pace and breadth of the AI builder ecosystem. A high-frequency Development Pulse can follow when feeds are connected.
Measures investment flowing into companies, infrastructure and compute capacity.
Measures how capabilities improve while intelligence becomes faster and less expensive.
The index combines durable fundamentals with a future intraday pulse without pretending slow data changes every minute.
Slow, fundamental observations remain constant until their source publishes a verified update.
Fast signals—mainly Markets and Development—will move the index intraday when verified feeds are connected.
How the EXO backtest has evolved against traditional market benchmarks since the common base date in October 2023. Every series is rebased to 100.0 at the first common valid observation.
Benchmark lines are normalized to Base 100 solely for relative comparison. Benchmark values are real published daily observations retrieved from FRED; for each month the first published observation on or after the first calendar day is used. No benchmark value is estimated or interpolated.

The engine targets a fresh EXO Index snapshot every five seconds. One minute of real snapshots becomes one OHLC candle; larger intervals aggregate those 1-minute candles.
Open is the first snapshot, High and Low are the extremes, and Close is the final snapshot. 5m, 15m, 1h, 4h and 1d are built from real 1m candles.
v0.3
Each pillar is normalized to the base date and combined through a weighted geometric index.
It combines signals with very different scales without allowing one rapidly growing metric to dominate the whole index.
Structural values stay constant until a new verified observation is published. The index does not forecast missing updates.
Monetization remains reserved for a future revision until a consistent global historical series is selected.
Sources are separated by pillar. Planned live feeds are not represented as connected.
