The Index
Everything Future Memory keeps track of: subjects, the dated developments inside them, and the precedents we're following to see where they land.
A precedent is a development that could set a rule for what comes next. We follow each one until it settles, reverses, or stops mattering, and every status change is dated.
Can a platform refuse an AI agent that its own customer has authorized?
What it could establish
Whether a site's terms and technical blocks can stop an agent acting for a signed-in customer, or whether the customer's authorization carries through.
What would settle it
A ruling on the motion to dismiss or the merits, a settlement, or a common access standard adopted across major retailers.
Will embedded independent evaluators become a norm for frontier AI companies?
What it could establish
That outside evaluators get inside access and publication rights as a condition of trust, rather than case-by-case.
What would settle it
Other labs adopting comparable terms, the first published findings showing real access, or a binding requirement.
Can governments bar an AI model, and products built on it, from public systems on supply-chain grounds?
What it could establish
AI model provenance as a procurement boundary, reaching downstream products built on a model.
What would settle it
Implementation guidance on third-party products, enforcement, vendor challenges, and whether other governments or models follow.
