Session
Wikimedia projects provide open knowledge for all, but not all users engage with content in the same way. AI-Powered Adaptive Learning in Wikimedia explores how AI can personalize content based on users’ reading abilities and knowledge levels. This session will discuss past experiments, current developments, and the potential of AI to make Wikimedia a more adaptive and inclusive learning platform.
