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-ALGP-2026-005 · Evidence B · P1

Across one real-world encounter and four incentive-compatible experiments, algorithmic dynamic pricing reduced retailer trust and lengthened price search, while habituation and market-wide normalization moderated those responses.

What this does not establish

Experimental search behavior is not observed conversion, lifetime value or market welfare; effects may depend on category, volatility and consumer experience.

Counterevidence & uncertainty

Backlash weakened with consumer experience, but search duration increased with experience unless dynamic pricing became the market norm.

What would change the reading

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