The tracker

Walked back.

Every case on record where a named company retreated from an AI move: rehired, reversed, pulled, paused, or rolled back. Reversals are rare and hard to fake, which is exactly why they are worth counting properly.

What earns a place here is an action taken back, not a disappointment. An AI project that underdelivered, an executive conceding progress is slower than promised, or a regulator's finding against a vendor are all real, and they are all on the radar — but they are not walk-backs, and counting them would make this number mean nothing. Entries marked case file carry a full verified dossier; radar entries are quote-verified wire items. How verification works →

Every reversal here started as a claim someone believed.

The case files hold the full dossiers: outcome tables, sources, and the verification method on every page.
