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.

The Pentagon wants $30 million to build an AI-powered lie detector

The Pentagon has requested $30.3 million over five years to develop an AI-enhanced polygraph system (Polygraph+) using machine learning scoring algorithms and standoff physiological sensing, expanding AI biometric interrogation capabilities without established oversight constraints.

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.
