Today's laurels are tomorrow's compost

There is a congratulatory article because "in the AI era, Wikipedia has never been more valuable". That may be however, it is valuable now but will this remain the same? So probably one Wikipedia is mined for information to be used by an AI. The information contained in this Wikipedia will evolve over time and this information may consequently end up in the results of the involved AI.

The question becomes, how will we remain relevant and up to date. Relevancy is in multiple parts, how do we remain a challenge for our editor community, how do we remain the "go to" place for our public and how do we remain a source for the bots feeding the AI.

My suggestion is predictable. Leverage the sum of all the knowledge we have in all our projects and maximise cooperation with any and all compatible organisations.

We can share all the awards and recipients of awards known on our projects. Our academic references should all be known to Wikidata and we could and should update these in collaboration with ORCiD and CrossRef. We would have up to date portfolio for the scientists we have Wikipedia articles of. We would know for scientific articles their citations and what cited these articles. Our editors would be enabled to improve the quality of our work. 

Yes, the AI engines would be better informed but hey, our intention is to share the sum of our knowledge. They are welcome to it.

Thanks,
