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-YF-2026-017 · Evidence A · P1

A cluster-randomized trial in 291 Kenyan public pre-primary schools found a curriculum-integrated smartphone learning program produced effects of 0.534 SD overall, 0.450 SD in numeracy and 0.449 SD in literacy after 13 months.

What this does not establish

The effect belongs to the integrated curriculum-and-teacher program, not learning apps generally or unsupervised smartphone use.

Counterevidence & uncertainty

Effects attenuated after midline and implementation context matters.

What would change the reading

Update with longer follow-up, cost, subgroup and scale evidence.
