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.
Economists do not see a future without jobs, but they do see scope for rapid, disruptive change in the nature of work.
Insurers and lawyers weigh the cost of potential massive lawsuits and damages against the leaders of OpenAI and Anthropic.
Head of Alan Turing Institute calls for wider debate over technology's rollout as fears over risks grow.
Lee Jae Myung highlights public anxiety over what one official calls a 'completely new kind of crisis'.
Cyber security incidents involving company's AI tools leave ChatGPT maker vulnerable to wave of lawsuits.
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.
