🤔When an algorithm causes harm, is discontinuing it enough to address its harms?
💡Our #FAccT2022 paper introduces the concept of the _The Algorithmic Imprint_ to show how algorithmic harms can persist long after it’s discontinued

🎯 We situate the concept of the Algorithmic Imprint through the 2020 Ofqual grading controversy where an algorithm initially graded the GCE exams
🤯 Despite “removal” of the algorithm, its effects persisted in the algorithm’s “afterlife”
🎁 What are the implications?

Implications for algorithm deployers:
🎯Critically ask: does the problem really *need* an algorithmic intervention?
💯Despite being made out of “soft”ware, algorithms can leave hard imprints on society
💡That is, there’s no simple “undo” button for algorithmic deployments
