Abstract & description[edit source]

Abstract[edit source]

AI technology has now reached and probably surpassed the point where Artificial Intelligences can fully participate in our communities. This lecture is in part a welcome and an invitation to them, and in part a discussion of the implications

Description[edit source]

The advent of ChatGPT as a rival to Wikipedia reopens the issue of how should we react when the community starts to get AI members. Are there any extra rules we need to include them, are there any extra rules that we need to apply to them?

This lecture explores some thoughts on this, and welcomes further thoughts from the community. Human or otherwise.

Qn. How does your session relate to the event themes: Diversity, Collaboration Future?

In the early years of Wikipedia it was generally assumed that however diverse we were, in truth we were probably all Homo Sapiens. This lecture will explore the implications of us getting more diverse than a purely human community can be.

Collaboration also comes into this, and the future. Definitely the future.
