I'm guessing any useful use of AI has already been adopted by some volunteers. Wikipedia might be able to build tools around the parts that work well, but the volunteers will end up footing the bill for the AI spend. Wikipedia will probably pivot to building an AI research product which they can sell to universities/ b2c.
