Wikipedia offers AI developers a training dataset to maybe get scraper bots off its back
Wikipedia has been struggling with the impact that AI crawlers — bots that are scraping text and multimedia from the encyclopedia to train generative artificial intelligence models — have been having on its servers, leading to increased costs and slower load times for human users in some cases. Perhaps in an effort to stop the bots from pummeling the public Wikipedia website and soaking up too much bandwidth, the Wikimedia Foundation (which manages Wikipedia's data) is offering AI developers a dataset they can freely use.<br /> The organization has teamed up with Kaggle, a data science platform, to offer up a beta release of a structured dataset in both English and French.
