The Fall of an Algorithm: Case Dataset

As a supplement to our research paper, we release our dataset of coded information from 40 different real-world algorithmic systems to serve as a resource to aid future research and advocacy efforts.

Our dataset can be accessed and downloaded on Airtable (link).

⚠️ This dataset was created in December 2023, using available public materials. Information in this dataset, such as whether an algorithmic system is abandoned or in-use, was last updated in 12/2023, and might now be out-of-date. To learn more about a case, we recommend that you supplement the information and references provided in the spreadsheet with more up-to-date sources.

Request a correction: While our team will not update the dataset to contain new information or events that occurred after December 2023, we are committed to ensuring that the dataset contains information that is correct, and is not misleading. If you spot any incorrect or misleading information in our dataset, please email us and we'll address it as soon as we can.

Datasheet

We will create and link a datasheet for this dataset (WIP).
