Today: the five AI headlines of the day → and the AI Wiki

What a claim record is How to read this page

One statement, bounded on purpose

The headline is a single claim that a named source supports. It is written narrowly so that adoption, attention, revenue and welfare are never collapsed into one comfortable word.

The three sections below the fold

What this does not establish is the boundary of the evidence. Counterevidence & uncertainty is what argues the other way. What would change the reading is the observation that would move it. A record missing any of the three is incomplete, not merely brief.

Primary routes are checkable

Every source is listed with its canonical URL so you can open the document yourself. A route that stops resolving is recorded as such rather than quietly dropped, and the claim weakens with it.

MWITA-AISO-2026-012 · Evidence B · P1

Among 75,000 established brands, YouTube mention volume correlated about 0.737 with AI visibility and web mentions 0.656-0.709 across surfaces, while page count correlated only about 0.194.

What this does not establish

Correlation does not prove that added YouTube or web mentions cause AI visibility; mentions are not citations, clicks, conversions or revenue.

Counterevidence & uncertainty

The pattern weighs against raw page volume as the main visibility lever but cannot justify causal budget allocation.

What would change the reading

Track replication, revised versions, denominators, confidence intervals, platform changes and deployed commercial outcomes.
