Wikipedia’s model of collective knowledge generation has demonstrated its ability to create verifiable and neutral encyclopedic knowledge. The Wikipedian community and WMF have long used AI to support the work of volunteers while centering the role of the human. Today we use AI to support editors to detect vandalism on all Wikipedia sites, translate content for readers, predict article quality, quantify the readability of articles, suggest edits to volunteers, and beyond. We have done so following Wikipedia’s values around community governance, transparency, support of human rights, open source, and others. That said, we have modestly applied AI to the editing experience when opportunities or technology presented itself. However, we have not undertaken a concerted effort to improve the editing experience of volunteers with AI, as we have chosen not to prioritize it over other opportunities.
Comment on Wikipedia is using (some) generative AI now

ah so no generative ai used in actual article production, just in meta stuff and for newcomers to ask questions about how to do things.
