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.
