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-PCR-2026-005 · Evidence A · P1

An apology repaired trust when hotel overcharging was attributed to an external computer failure, but not when the same 60% price increase was portrayed as intentional harm.

What this does not establish

Student ratings for a fictional hotel are not repeat bookings, public sentiment, earned coverage, sales, legal exposure or market value, and only outright denial was compared with apology.

Counterevidence & uncertainty

The identical apology that improved trust after an external failure was statistically unhelpful after intentional wrongdoing, bounding generic ‘always apologize’ advice.

What would change the reading

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