Week7 Artificial Intelligence and Wikipedia-Kwon Hyunji(권현지)

 1. Summary

ChatGPT wrote Wikipedia articles and conducted activities to compare them to real-life Wikipedia articles. In addition, I have also used a site called STORM, another AI, which appears in a similar format to Wikipedia articles. Indication in the form of sources or pages is similar to Wikipedia, which sometimes produces more detailed information than what appears on Wikipedia. In this way, the use of AI can further develop Wikipedia. Adding new content to AI, the way we currently use it, can engagepeople. The spread of misinformation caused by AI use can be corrected through human participation. AI and people can complement each other. However, among the content AI generates, the content often creates distorted content about marginalized and marginalized groups. It is also more likely to spread disinformation.


2. interesting part

I was surprised that there are more cases of using artificial intelligence in the Wikimedia Project than I thought. We are using AI to improve the quality of content, and we are also conducting activities to directly verify that AI's results are acceptable and constructive, and to modify or remove them if not. If these activities continue, AI will be able to develop further in the Wikipedia community. We also asked ChatGPT how they would use AI in Wikipedia. CHATGPT suggested support for drafting, document translation, typo, grammar, style detection, source review and suggestion, automatic notification of backward documents, discussion summary, topic recommendation/unwritten document prediction, etc. Among them, I thought that document writing and translation support, automatic notification of backward documents, and prediction of topic recommendation/unwritten documents could be practically utilized.


3. Question

Other than the method suggested by ChatGPT, what are some ways to use AI on Wikipedia?

Is there any possibility of another problem caused by AI other than the previous one? If so, how can I use AI to supplement it?

    I really liked your summary it was clear and helped me understand how AI and Wikipedia can work together. I also found it interesting that you mentioned STORM and how it makes the articles look more like real Wikipedia pages. Your point about AI being helpful but still needing human checks is so true. I also agree that features like translation support and topic prediction could be very useful in the future.

Introduction to the blog

This blog is a digital forum where students from Collective Intelligence in Practice: Understanding Wikipedia at the Hanyang University in Korea (2025) will discuss their weekly readings and activities. Each week you are expected to post a blog post on our blog and make a comment on another student's post. You can do so on one of the following three topics: a) You can blog about the readings for the next week. As you are expected to do the assigned readings FOR the lectures they are assigned to, you are expected to post your blog and comments BEFORE that lecture. An ideal commentary should be about half a page in length (~200 words), divided into three clearly labeled sections in which you: 1) summarize in your own words of materials you read; 2) mention any new, interesting, or unusual items learned; 3) identify at least one question, concern, or discussion angle that is either problematic in some respect or could have been elaborated more. This question is likely to be incor...

Week4 - Review about the readings for the next week. - Jo HyeonSeong (조현성)

 1. Summarize in my own words of materials. The book is primarily about the openness of Wikipedia. Openness means that anyone can participate in the creation and editing of articles without any qualifications. Openness can be a double-edged sword. While it means that you can edit without having expert knowledge of a topic, it also means that you can participate even if you have expert knowledge. For experts, articles written by non-experts can come across as inaccurate knowledge, which can anger experts. This anger can also be a catalyst for Wikipedia to continue to improve. However, articles edited only by non-experts can cause misunderstandings and convey incorrect information, so openness can be considered a double-edged sword. In fact, it sometimes causes some conflict, such as Wales' negative stance. Openness also means freedom from copyright, which means anyone can take it and use it anywhere. That is why the knowledge of non-experts can have greater impact. That is why appro...

Week 1. My Recent Wikipedia Edits - Jeong seolah (정설아)

I made several edits to the Wikipedia page for 'Daegu'.  Daegu, located in the southeastern part of South Korea, is the third-largest urban area in the country, following Seoul and Busan. With a population exceeding 2.3 million, it is the fourth-largest metropolitan city in South Korea and the second-largest in the Yeongnam region after Busan. Often referred to together with the surrounding North Gyeongsang Province as Daegu-Gyeongbuk, this region is home to over 5 million residents. Known for its rich history and vibrant economy, Daegu stands as a key player in South Korea's cultural and industrial landscape. Below is a summary of the changes I contributed. 1) Summarize and link Sights Section:  - Improved clarity by changing “mountains keep many traditional temples” to “the mountains keep many traditional temples.” Mosque Controversy Section:  - Simplified a sentence by removing “and of the authorities.” Festivals Section:  - Made phrasing smoother by changing “tho...
