In an era where Artificial Intelligence (AI) increasingly shapes our digital experiences, the intersection between AI and open knowledge platforms like Wikimedia presents both opportunities and risks. This presentation explores how Wikimedia projects contribute to AI development, the challenges posed by AI's lack of transparency, and the potential dangers of fostering a monoculture that marginalizes smaller cultures and languages. It will also delve into the concept of Digital Sovereignty, emphasizing the importance of using open data and transparent AI systems to promote diverse knowledge and protect against the dominance of any single perspective.
