Wikipedia helped teach AI, and now it's dying because of AI. AI can answer your questions without sending you back to Wikipedia. For decades, volunteers wrote articles, checked facts and corrected mistakes. Their work became a valuable foundation for training AI. But when an AI answer replaces a visit, the source can lose more than a click. Wikimedia has warned that fewer visitors could mean fewer future editors and donors supporting the knowledge everyone relies on. Wikipedia isn't dead. But its story raises a question that reaches far beyond one website: What happens when human contributions become more valuable while the people behind them become less visible? Helping train an AI doesn't automatically give you ownership in it.

Airbnb co-founder Brian Chesky is calling attention to the gap between Silicon Valley and the rest of society. His message: AI leaders need to stop fighting, talk to regular people and invite society into the conversation. That includes the teacher in Ohio who hears about an AI revolution but feels no part of it. Because for many people, AI feels like something happening to them, not for them. Think about why. They hear about breakthroughs and extraordinary wealth. But they are left wondering what happens to their work, who makes the decisions and where they belong. Ordinary people need ownership in the future of AI. Which is exactly what Action Model aims to do. Join our movement and sign up to our pledge of people-owned AI.
