The rise of AI has heavily relied on Wikipedia for training large language models, but this dependency may harm the platform's volunteer-driven content creation. Despite Wikipedia's vital role in AI development, there's concern that AI tools like ChatGPT, which use Wikipedia data without directing users back to the site, could reduce volunteer engagement and jeopardize the site's quality. While Wikipedia's traffic remains steady, its leaders emphasize the need for AI companies to credit Wikipedia properly and support its sustainability through paid services like Wikimedia Enterprise.
