Roadmap Item

NIKOLAI proposal: a Roadmap Item is a dated, non-binding future goal with a trackable status value (e.g. not met / met / slipped), published so that its completion or slippage against the stated date can be monitored independently. This wording is a NIKOLAI editorial synthesis, not a quotation from any single source.

This is CASRAI's own proposed definition, not a definition any named organisation has agreed to. See what NIKOLAI is and is not.

How named organisations use this concept

Every row below is a shadow mapping. A shadow row is CASRAI's own reading of a published document. No lab, evaluator or regulator named on a shadow row has declared, endorsed, or been consulted on it. That changes only when an organisation files its own Mapping Declaration.

Anthropic Risk Report (August 2026) / Frontier Safety Roadmap
"Achieve an 'eyes on everything' state for our internal AI development. We will comprehensively gather, centralize, and maintain logs for all critical AI-development activities ..." (quoted in §3.7.1); status "Not met; target date 1 Jan 2027 in the Frontier Safety Roadmap." Roadmap has "dated goals across Security, Safeguards, Alignment, Cross-cutting and Policy, with an update log" (discovery).
The source document also gives a further dated goal from Amodei's 'The Urgency of Interpretability' ({INTERP}): interpretability 'can reliably detect most model problems' by 2027 -- this predates and is not confirmed by the Roadmap cited here, and the source itself flags [VERIFY] whether the Risk Report or Roadmap tracks progress against it; not resolved in this pass. The source table also cites a bracket tag {DAN} for this row that does not resolve to any URL in the supplied sources list -- it is dropped here rather than invented; treat that sub-claim as uncited until resolved.

Pointers that are not crosswalk claims

These sources mention this concept but do not define or map it clearly enough to count as a crosswalk row — noted here so the research is visible without overstating it as a mapping.
