It has been a year since Wikimedians took the stage in Singapore to share their excitement, concerns, and open questions about the impact of ChatGPT and other generative AI technology on our movement. This panel will bring together 5-6 diverse voices from our movement – volunteers, affiliates, researchers, and Wikimedia Foundation staff – to discuss how Generative AI is showing up in our movement's collective work to grow and sustain the sum of human knowledge.

Generative AI continues to bring new opportunities, risks, and open questions to the Wikimedia movement. Learn about the key generative AI activities happening within various departments at the Wikimedia Foundation (including Product & Technology, Legal, and Advancement). Topics covered will include: technical infrastructure, tooling, research and innovation; regulation and advocacy; ethical/sustainable AI considerations.

Given recent technological developments – e.g., AI, new social apps, new devices – how might future generations learn from and contribute to Wikimedia projects?

Through quick experiments in last year, the Wikimedia Foundation has gathered insights on how our free knowledge projects can continue to meet the needs of generations to come, even as technology and user behavior online evolve. In this session, attendees will see examples of Future Audiences experiments (e.g., "Citation Needed," a browser extension that uses generative AI + Wikipedia to evaluate the reliability of online information), hear what we are learning, and discuss ideas for new experiments.
