The irony of Kagi, a for profit AI company, doing this
Their mission has always been about making the web better for humans, though. Their AI stuff is all opt-in and they have a decent philosophy about it: https://help.kagi.com/kagi/why-kagi/ai-philosophy.html
Their leadership, business model and finances are sketchy, and the AI stuff being opt-in is a byproduct of their marketing. They are an AI company, and their product is an AI. Kagi Search was just a stepping stone to reach their goal.
This is a nice read on Kagi: https://d-shoot.net/kagi.html
Interesting. I'll take a closer look and read the article you linked to. I haven't used Kagi much, but I did try the trial and their search results are definitely better than Google.
