AI is mining the sum of human knowledge from Wikipedia. What does that mean for its future?
The meteoric rise of AI in the last few years has caused a huge demand for data on which to train its large language models. That load has fallen heavily on Wikipedia, the world’s largest repository of human knowledge, which is created by people and free to use for machines.
But the proliferation of AI tools like ChatGPT and Google AI Overview also means that there’s a disconnect now between where people are getting their information and where it comes from. In turn, Wikipedia's executives tell us that potential separation could jeopardize an entire generation of volunteer editors' engagement with Wikipedia. If volunteers aren't editing as much, the site's quality could suffer.
