Wiki AI : Building the world's best tools for editing, illustrating, reviewing, and presenting cooperative knowledge
This day is dedicated to using AI to make participation in the Wikiverse
**\- EASY** by reducing friction & helping newbies
**\- FUN** by enabling creativity & exploration
**\- MEANINGFUL** by replacing drudgery with high-value work
We start with where we are now and a hands-on workshop on the kind of community we want to be with AI. Threads for the day include
**Tools for Reliability & Defense**
* Defending the public record: assisting with anti-vandalism, source verification and detection of AI-mediated spam and slop
* What has changed with LLMs, what hasn't, and where the tradeoffs lie.
**Building with AI & Ecosystem Tooling**
* AI-assisted development for non-developers
* Current tools & repos for interacting with global knowledge (HuggingFace, PublicAI, Wiki AI skills)
* Expanding global library access for contributors (Internet Archive, The Wikipedia Library, Common Corpus)
**More than just Major Wikipedias**
* Empowering Small(er) Wikis - AI as a force and challenge for underrepresented languages and knowledge gaps: accessibility and tool discoverability
* Commons & Media - from clearing categorisation backlogs to the disputes over AI-generated images
Also, we'll have a **Wikigame and Breakout Tables** \- small\-group tables with an open agenda\. Bring a project or just curiosity\.
Here's the [registration link](https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLScXbv_fbbDY2-2-S6lB7507_KXDQnpz80IBSfahxanT7ypiJA/viewform?usp=dialog). If you have Wikimania tickets, you can just drop by, but consider registering anyway - it will help us understand how many attendees will be at the event.
