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-ASDO-2026-004 · Evidence B · P1

Across 128 brands and 13 languages, 85.7% of URL-grounded citations used in LLM brand answers pointed to third-party rather than brand-owned sites.

What this does not establish

Citation share is not answer impression share, sentiment, click-through, conversion or causal proof that earned-media spending creates visibility.

Counterevidence & uncertainty

Wikipedia led 11 of 12 languages, but Lithuanian and the Polish national-brand subset showed local source ecologies, opposing a single global citation recipe.

What would change the reading

Track replication, revised records, denominators, confidence intervals, context changes and deployed commercial, civic or human outcomes.
