What Killed by AI is

Killed by AI is a curated, source-backed registry of products, services, and jobs rendered obsolete by artificial intelligence — layoffs, product shutdowns, service sunsets, B2B SaaS seat contractions, and cases of AI regret. Every entry records what died, when, its category, a short obituary, and a link to the original source.

How records are verified

Leads are gathered from the global and Vietnamese markets and checked against Tier-1 news sources (Bloomberg, Reuters, TechCrunch, WSJ, FT, CNBC and peers; reputable Vietnamese outlets for VN-market events). Candidates are de-duplicated against a shared crawl log and pass a human review gate before publication. Attribution to AI is required — restructurings without an AI cause are deliberately excluded.

Use the data

Open, machine-readable datasets

The registry and its supporting datasets are published as JSON and updated continuously. They are free to use for editorial and research purposes — see terms below.

/content/registry.json— canonical index of every record (id, title, category, dateDied, sourceUrl)
/data/layoffs.json— monthly layoff totals with AI-attributed share
/data/tech-stack.json— tech-stack exposure scores (US + Vietnam)
/data/regret.json— AI-regret / rehiring metrics
/data/saas_seat_contraction.json— B2B SaaS seat/revenue contraction
/llms.txt— machine-readable site + data guide for AI agents

A cleaned dataset and an insights notebook are also mirrored on Kaggle: dataset · notebook.

Attribution & terms

Free to cite, with credit

You may quote statistics, reproduce entries, and reference the datasets in articles, research, and presentations at no cost, provided you:

1. Credit “Killed by AI (killedbyai.xyz)” as the source, with a link back to killedbyai.xyz; and
2. Where you cite a specific record, also link to that record's original source (the sourceUrl in the registry).

Each record's underlying facts belong to its original publisher — always attribute the primary source alongside us. For bulk or commercial use, or questions, reach out below.
