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-BSO-2026-003 · Evidence B · P1

Fraud and sophisticated invalid traffic rates were 1.0% for protected campaigns versus 2.1% for an unprotected campaign on an average day in 2024, and 1.6% versus 5.2% on the highest day.

What this does not establish

The gap is not a causal estimate of incremental return on ad spend and does not cover unmeasured fraud, closed platforms or campaigns outside the observed inventory.

Counterevidence & uncertainty

The global fraud/SIVT benchmark declined 7% to 1.0% while APAC increased 2%, and known-bot GIVT rose sharply, so aggregate improvement did not apply uniformly across regions or traffic classes.

What would change the reading

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