The Center for Humane Technology set out seven principles for AI that serves humanity. This tracker maps, week by week, how reality has drifted — across norms, laws, and product design.
Codebook v0.2 · 69 indicators · published Apr 2026. Open corpus under CC-BY 4.0.
Seven CHT principles × three domains of change. Each cell shows direction over the selected window.
Coded events moving the matrix. Each one is tagged to an indicator, checked for triangulation, and weighted by magnitude.
OpenAI has announced the launch of the Economic Research Exchange, an initiative aimed at studying the economic impacts of artificial intelligence.
OpenAI has confidentially submitted a draft S-1 registration statement to the SEC, taking the first formal step toward an Initial Public Offering.
South Korea's Naver announced plans to build gigawatt-scale AI factories using Nvidia technology, representing a massive concentration of compute infrastructure.
SK Hynix and Nvidia have announced a multi-year technology agreement to build AI factories, signaling further consolidation in the AI hardware supply chain.
OpenAI is reportedly planning a major overhaul to turn ChatGPT into a 'superapp' ahead of a potential public listing, signaling a push for deeper vertical integration.
Everyone feels the drift. Nobody has a single picture of it. This tracker is that picture — grounded in the Center for Humane Technology's seven principles, coded against a public codebook, checked by triangulation before it moves the board.
A source-aware tagger codes each event against the public rubric — direction, magnitude, indicator — using both the article and what kind of source it came from. Academic preprints don't move the matrix unless adopted in the field. Humans audit edge cases and write one deep process-tracing analysis per cycle. Cells with fewer than five signals stay blank — absence of motion is its own signal.
Principles, indicators, signals, and the rubric are public under CC-BY 4.0 at github.com/DavidHITL/hitl-tracker-corpus. Spotted a wrong tag, a dead link, or a missing event? Email david@tenone.eu — corrections land in the next refresh.
