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-CC-2026-005 · Evidence A · P1

In March 2025 browsing data from 900 U.S. adults, searches with an AI summary led to traditional-result clicks in 8% of visits versus 15% without a summary; cited-summary links were clicked in 1% of visits.

Counterevidence & uncertainty

The comparison is observational, desktop/device coverage and panel selection matter, query mix differs, and it cannot isolate the causal effect of the summary.

What would change the reading

Update with randomized tests, multi-device replications and query-matched longitudinal data.
