Wikipedia turns 25, fights AI threat with bus tour across Germany

Wikipedia, the online encyclopedia, is celebrating its 25th anniversary while facing increasing competition from AI-generated content. To promote human-curated knowledge, employees and volunteers are traveling by bus across Germany, engaging with local communities. The bus tour, which started in Munich, visits cities like Berlin, Hamburg, and Cologne, offering workshops and discussions on Wikipedia's role in the age of artificial intelligence. The initiative aims to recruit new editors and highlight the importance of verifiable, human-written information. Wikipedia remains free and relies on donations and volunteer contributions.
