Listed in HKU DataHub and figshare and Loughborough Research Repository — shown once because both records carry DOI 10.6084/m9.figshare.34001589.v3
Description
<p dir="ltr">A functional taxonomy of AI tools with counts: 18 categories and 165 subcategories covering 11,959 active AI tools (snapshot 26 September 2026). Version 1.2.0 includes a stratified sample of 200 long-tail AI tools, 11 or 12 per category, each with its risk level and data-sovereignty rating; the most widely used AI tools are excluded. Also includes the AI-native and AI-enabled split per category and aggregate statistics on the stated training policies of AI tools (8,811 tools with a known policy; 73% state no policy on training).</p><p dir="ltr">Dataset page and downloads: aitoolsblocklist.com/ai-tools-taxonomy-dataset.php</p><p dir="ltr">Published by AI Tools Blocklist: aitoolsblocklist.com/</p>
