Carnegie Endowment for International Peace — publication: AI Global Surveillance (AIGS) Index covering 176 countries, created by Steven Feldstein

NoteThe source confirms two of the three claim components: the publication (Carnegie Endowment for International Peace), the index name (AI Global Surveillance/AIGS Index), and the country count (176 countries). However, the source text provided does not mention Steven Feldstein as the creator or author of the index. While the source may credit him elsewhere (the full publication may include author attribution not shown in this excerpt), the provided excerpt does not verify this attribution. This is a partial confirmation because the core publication and scope are verified, but the authorship claim is unverifiable from the given source text.
