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.
