I have recently joined a group of aspiring Wikipedia editors and I am interested to edit articles to do with technology, especially Artificial Intelligence (AI) and AI Ethics. I started working in AI in the 1980s and I am familiar with the history of its development. Indeed I lay claim to having invented the first inferencing spreadsheet called Expert4 in 1984. In 2017 I set up websites called robotethics.co.uk and AIethics.ai (getting a bit out of date now) to help coordinate activity in ethics as applied to AI. I have also run Zoom seminars helping define the role of African countries in AI Ethics.

There is a concern that with the proliferation of content generated by Large Language Models (LLMs) that the internet will become 'polluted' by content that both lacks creativity (being based on previous content) and is inaccurate (due to 'hallucinations'). When AI generated content is used to train the next generation of AI there is the danger of 'model collapse' where AI generated content descends into gibberish. I am interested to know what controls Wikipedia has to manage the risks (and possibly also the opportunities) of this affecting Wikipedia pages.

I am now writing a book called 'Good Manners for Robots' that warns of some of the dangers of AI and works towards approaches to AI ethics based on 'good manners'.
