Wikipedia fuels Google's Knowledge Graph panel and Assistant, Apple Siri, Amazon Alexa, Bing's and DuckDuckGo's info panels etc. One of the biggest challenges to Wikipedia is actually that "Wikipedia’s facts are now increasingly extracted without credit by artificial intelligence processes that consume its knowledge and present it as objective fact." https://hfordsa.medium.com/rise-of-the-underdog-92565503e4af https://hfordsa.medium.com/rise-of-the-underdog-92565503e4af People may remember how Freebase disappeared – absorbed in Wikimedia's CC-0-licensed Wikidata project (contributor rights be damned), just like much of Wikipedia's infobox content got absorbed in Wikidata (database rights be damned). And there is now actually a chance that even more of Wikipedia's content will end up CC-0 licensed (i.e. completely free and public domain, usable without attribution): https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Talk:Abstract_Wikipedia/Licensing_discussion https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Talk:Abstract_Wikipedia/Lice... That would be horrible, as end users would no longer even be given an indication where content presented to them comes from. (Gresham's law also works in the information ecosystem.) There should always be a Wikipedia, but going CC-0 in a bid for complete world domination is an almost Orwellian dystopia that can only benefit the same Silicon Valley lot who preferred CC-0 Wikidata to CC BY-SA Freebase.
