People haven't been paying attention to the issue of the detection of AI outputs, this is really important. If we can't accurately detect AI use, then how will any human-only requirement be met in all walks of life? Academia, copyright, etc.

Overblown fears of AI's potential destructiveness; excessive faith in its ability; plus - its truly transformational qualities.

If this is not the biggest threat to Wikipedia's readership (and, as a result, to its ability to fundraise through banners), then what is? The most recent analytics reports I saw a while ago had Google-referred traffic as accounting for half of the total visits to Wikipedia.

I loved working on this paper with Simon Knight Shibani Antonette & Simon Chambers about how open data (in this case Wikipedia citations) don't always travel well when extracted into new contexts.

Wikipedia often avoid mention of #discriminatory Australian Government policies or violence against #FirstNations Australians. Only 6% of #Australian places are given their First Nation names on #Wikipedia, along with an English one, acc. to our research wikihistories. UTS Arts & Social Sciences Wikimedia Australia
