This section lists the sources cited throughout the book. The numbered source index, ordered by source number, is the canonical bibliography: every inline citation of the form (N, author or organisation, year) links to the entry with that number. The index is grouped by category so that readers can locate European instruments, the science-fiction and philosophical background, risk assessments, model-behaviour research, incidents and the wider social literature quickly.
Many of the entries were carried over verbatim from the bibliographies of the earlier volumes of The Transformed Architecture, with the access dates recorded there. The remaining entries were added for this book on 2026-11-02 from the author's knowledge of the literature; they are listed in HANDOVER.md and must be verified with scripts/verify_sources.py before release.
Inline citations give the source number, the author or organisation, and the year, for example (1, European Union, 2024), and link to the entry here. Where an author is named in the sentence, the citation carries the year. Each chapter closes with a ## Sources section that lists the works it cites, using the same numbering as this bibliography. New sources are appended to the appropriate category with the next free number; before a merge to main, scripts/renumber_sources.py --apply restores the order 1..N without gaps.

About AI Threat
AI Threat is Book 5 of The Transformed Architecture. It investigates whether the dystopias of science fiction, with AI as the threat, are coming true. It covers every scale of the threat, from the human mind and society to misuse, machines beyond control and the end of the world, stages every debate constructively, and turns the verdict into what individuals, European enterprises and public authorities can do.
It builds on the conclusions of Architecture as Code, AI Governance, AI Platform and Security and AI Red Team.
Boards, chief risk officers, CISOs, AI governance leads, architects and public-sector leaders.
