As algorithmic systems govern ever-larger swaths of human activity—from credit scoring and judicial sentencing to supply chain logistics and social cohesion—the failure modes of these systems have shifted from stochastic error to deterministic exploitation. The Algorithmic Sabotage Research Group (ASRG) posits that traditional "alignment" and "robustness" research fails to account for a critical variable: This paper introduces the first formal taxonomy of algorithmic sabotage, distinguishing between internal gradient attacks (data poisoning, reward hacking) and external systemic friction (adversarial triggering, latency bombs). We argue that in an era of mandatory AI arbitration, targeted, reversible algorithmic sabotage is not vandalism but a legitimate form of non-violent protest and systems auditing.

And every time a perfectly correct algorithm fails to cause real-world harm, an anonymous researcher in a desert observatory will allow themselves a small, quiet smile. As algorithmic systems govern ever-larger swaths of human

The Algorithmic Sabotage Research Group highlights an urgent area of AI risk: actors intentionally or accidentally undermining algorithmic systems with real societal consequences. Combining technical rigor, responsible disclosure, and policy engagement, ASRG-style research helps make automated systems more robust, transparent, and trustworthy—reducing the risk that algorithms will be turned against the people and institutions that rely on them.
