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-LRO-2026-006 · Evidence B · P1

Among recent mobile purchasers, 70% reported using click-to-call from search results; in local services, 76% said they would use calling to schedule a professional-service appointment.

What this does not establish

Self-reported calling propensity and CTR are inquiries, not booked jobs, realized sales, incremental profit, Google Business Profile ranking, or evidence that adding a phone number alone causes the reported behavior.

Counterevidence & uncertainty

Calls appear commercially proximate—almost three quarters of ad-originated calls lasted over 30 seconds—yet the study supplies no conversion or incremental-revenue estimate.

What would change the reading

Track replication, revised records, denominators, confidence intervals, channel changes and realized behavioral or commercial outcomes.
