Jens Ohlig
An open and free internet and unrestricted access to everything that helps us understand how the world is connected has been driving Jens Ohlig for several decades. In 2012, he was part of the founding team of Wikidata. As a member of the board of Wikimedia Deutschland, he aims to advance ideas on how to achieve the greatest possible digital equity for everyone through the engagement of enthusiastic communities of volunteers and based on open technology. He can never decide whether to write biography blurbs in the first or third person singular.
Session
Wikimedia Deutschland is tackling AI’s challenges through political, legal, educational, and technological initiatives. In this session, we will share our work—from policy papers on AI’s societal impact to advanced vector-based semantic search for Wikidata. Our goal is to spark a conversation, inspire collaboration, and provide practical tools for chapters and affiliates.
