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-2026-007 · Evidence A · P1

The combined table reported AUD 152.6 million in payment-redirection scam losses in 2024, 66.6% above 2023, but the like-for-like increase using only consistently categorized sources was 9.0%.

What this does not establish

The figures do not establish causal growth in underlying scam incidence or isolate brand impersonation from other payment-redirection mechanisms.

Counterevidence & uncertainty

The internally reported 66.6% rise falls to 9.0% under a comparable-source calculation, directly limiting use of the headline year-over-year rate.

What would change the reading

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