Bing AI Mode starts a separate baseline. Copilot remains a separate public engine and keeps its history; changes across the switch are not like-for-like growth.
How AI engines see them
All five engines describe Dan Boneh as a Stanford professor of computer science who leads applied cryptography research, and they tie him to zero-knowledge proofs and SNARK-style proof systems. Several mention LatticeFold. ChatGPT and Gemini add pairing-based work such as BLS signatures and identity-based encryption. Google AI Mode adds zero-knowledge proofs on secret-shared data, and Perplexity notes he did not invent zero knowledge. Every engine names him. The most cited domains are crypto.stanford.edu, profiles.stanford.edu and nasonline.org.
