Meta has developed a new artificial intelligence model to measure the accuracy of citations in Wikipedia. The AI, called Sphere, can automatically scan citations at scale and suggest alternative citations when it finds an under-sourced citation.
Wikipedia won’t pay for Sphere
Every month, approximately 17,000 more articles are added to Wikipedia, which has approximately 6.5 million articles. This means that the platform, which many people see as a reliable source, should pay more attention, especially in content moderation.
Meta says that this problem can be overcome by automatically scanning hundreds of thousands of citations at once with the new artificial intelligence model they have developed. Sphere is sourced from 134 million public web pages, according to Meta’s researchers.
A statement from Meta said: “Our goal is ultimately to create a platform that will help Wikipedia editors systematically identify citation issues and quickly correct the citation or correct the content of the relevant article at scale.” statements were included.
Meta did not make a statement about whether it uses the artificial intelligence model Sphere they developed on its own platforms. The company said that Wikipedia does not make any payments to use Sphere.
