Artificial intelligence is moving fast, but the information behind it still needs to be trustworthy. In a time when AI tools answer questions instantly, the source of that knowledge matters. Wikipedia, built and maintained by volunteers across the world, has quietly become one of the most important foundations for modern technology. As AI grows, Wikipedia’s human-reviewed knowledge is proving to be more valuable than ever.

New Technology Partners Join Wikimedia Enterprise

Amazon, Meta, Microsoft, Mistral AI and Perplexity have all now signed up for Wikimedia Enterprise alongside current partners Google and Ecosia. These are the companies that rely on Wikimedia Enterprise to reliably access Wikipedia’s content. It’s a way to make sure that information seen by billions of users around the world is reliable, trustworthy and in line with Wikipedia’s fundamental principles.

Why Wikipedia Still Stands Out

Wikipedia is one of the most visited websites in the world and the only major one run as a nonprofit. Every month, people read its articles billions of times in hundreds of languages. Unlike random data pulled from the internet, Wikipedia content is written, reviewed, and corrected by real people. That human oversight is exactly why it remains one of the strongest data sources for AI systems today.

What Wikimedia Enterprise Actually Does

Wikimedia Enterprise provides companies with dependable access to Wikipedia through different APIs. Some offer the latest version of articles on demand, others provide full language snapshots updated every hour, and some stream real-time updates as changes happen. This allows organizations to build AI tools, search platforms, and assistants using trusted information—without overwhelming Wikipedia’s public servers.

More Than Just AI Training

As Wikipedia continues to grow and include more languages and topics, its use goes beyond general AI models. Wikimedia Enterprise also supports education platforms, travel data systems, and specialized knowledge tools that rely on clean, well-structured information.

Conclusion

AI may be automated, but knowledge still needs a human foundation. Wikimedia Enterprise helps bridge that gap by making sure Wikipedia’s carefully maintained content is used responsibly. These partnerships don’t just improve technology—they help protect and sustain one of the world’s most trusted sources of shared knowledge.
