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.

EFF and Allies: X's FTC Petition to Waive Privacy Violation Order Should be Rejected

EFF, Demand Progress, National Consumers League, and EPIC filed formal FTC comments opposing X Corp.'s petition to waive its 2022 privacy consent decree. The groups cited X's Grok AI model being trained on user data without meaningful consent as evidence the order remains necessary.

FTC Seeks Public Comment on Policy Statement Addressing AI Accuracy

The FTC is seeking public comment on a proposed policy statement addressing concerns that AI companies may be manipulating accuracy claims. This represents a formal step toward consumer protection enforcement in AI performance representation.

Victory! Supreme Court Says Constitution Protects People's Location Data

The US Supreme Court ruled in Chatrie v. United States that Fourth Amendment privacy protections extend to location data from phone apps, even for short-term surveillance. The ruling restricts geofence warrants and establishes that app-generated records belong to users, with broad implications for digital privacy enforcement.

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.
