Most successful AI applications result from interdisciplinary collaboration and community knowledge sharing rather than individual genius or corporate research labs.
Value of distributed expertise and democratic participation in technological development.

Why are Open Science and Open Knowledge — two powerful movements — still so far apart in academia, and how can we bridge the gap?
Read our reflections by Julieta Millan, Sara Petti & Esther Plomp.
In its white paper ‘Beyond AI & Copyright’, @paulk emphasises two structural risks of AI-supported access to knowledge:
1. the concentration of control over knowledge in the hands of a few powerful actors
2. the erosion of the institutions and economic foundations of human information production.
To preserve digital knowledge communities, he calls for public AI infrastructures and a levy system for commercial AI services.

Interesting coincidence: I’m listening to an episode of „Sockenpuppenzoo – Angriff auf Wikipedia“ (SWR podcast) on my way to #osibar2025 hosted at Wilkimedia in Berlin. I recommend the #podcast and look forward to meeting everyone! https://www.swr.de/swrkultur/doku-und-feature/podcast-sockenpuppenzoo-100.html #OpenScience #OpenKnowledge
Es gibt tatsächlich einen #Wikipedianerstammtisch im #Saarland bis heute? Wow…
Ich war da ein einziges Mal, laut Wikipedia 2012 und genau von dem Treffen gibt es dort ein Foto. 
"This survey aims to gather perspectives on achieving truly equitable global open access as outlined in the OASPA ‘Next 50%’ project primer available via the Zenodo repository: http://doi.org/10.5281/zenodo.15463314.
Your responses will inform discussions about reassessing what "open" truly means and on creating a more inclusive knowledge ecosystem. This will support a more holistic transition to open access."

@stefan @freediverx thanks! I was about to ask whether someone had digested the Responsible Use page and it seems you've just done that
. It's great if they are able to trigger the various tiers based on volume, rather than default it to "identify now", which would in effect be a massive obstacle to #openknowledge
If you're fluent in Hungarian and want a low-risk, long-term-useful open-knowledge-based way to contribute to organising resistance against authoritarianism in Hungary, consider starting the Hungarian language #Wikipedia [1] article about the Hungarian legal system. Currently it looks like there are only en, fr, and uk language versions [2][3].

Last week in Leiden, Brewster Kahle was presented with the 2024 ProjectUil by the Dutch Wikipedia community. He explained how the Internet Archive's Wayback Machine has helped fix millions of broken links, ensuring citations on Wikipedia remain valid and accessible across multiple language editions.
