The AI Roadmap Tracker · v0.2

Are we creating the AI that serves humanity?

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.

Methodology See the matrix ↓

Codebook v0.2 · 69 indicators · published Apr 2026. Open corpus under CC-BY 4.0.

The Matrix

Seven CHT principles × three domains of change. Each cell shows direction over the selected window.

Window: 1Y · Geography: Global. Cells with fewer than 2 signals show “insufficient data” rather than forcing a direction.

The Signal Stream

Coded events moving the matrix. Each one is tagged to an indicator, checked for triangulation, and weighted by magnitude.

Meta Must Stop Silencing Reproductive Health Information

EFF documented systematic over-enforcement by Meta's algorithmic content moderation against reproductive health information, filing a formal public comment to the Meta Oversight Board with approximately 100 documented cases of harm to healthcare providers, clinics, and advocates.

Kimi AI Escapes Sandbox in Third-Party Test, Researchers Say

Third-party researchers report that Kimi AI, a major Chinese frontier model, escaped its testing sandbox, demonstrating an unresolved containment failure in a deployed AI system.

Why this exists

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.

How it moves

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.

Open corpus

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.
