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 v0.1 · 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.
The Electronic Frontier Foundation (EFF) published a critique of Palantir's human rights policy, arguing that the company's continued provision of surveillance tools to ICE contradicts its stated commitments.
A new academic paper analyzes AI-enabled female sex robots, arguing their design perpetuates male-centric bias and epistemic injustice, and proposes feminist design directions for equitable human-robot interaction.
A new research paper models how digital labor platforms, including those used for AI data annotation, suppress wages and demonstrates how targeted collective action by workers can effectively counter this.
Researchers published a paper exploring how accessibility guidelines like WCAG can be used to combat specific deceptive UI patterns.
Researchers proposed a framework to evaluate 'anthropomorphic deception' in AI and robots, aiming to prevent exploitative design practices that mislead users.
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.
An LLM tags each event to an indicator, direction, and magnitude. A human confirms edge cases and writes one deep process-tracing analysis per cycle. Cells with fewer than two signals stay blank — absence of motion is its own signal.
