About the event
AI-BRIDGES will be hosting a Symposium at the Digital Humanities Research Hub, University of London. This event will bring together experts from various institutions, open knowledge and FAIR data advocates, technologists (especially focusing on GenAI), researchers and funders.
The symposium will be held on two consecutive dates:
In the main Symposium day (day 1, May 28th), will feature some presentations, an expert panel, and working in small groups toward solutions to critical problems identified by participants. presentations and discussions will revolve around the role of GenAI in knowledge preservation and accessibility. The day will focus on finding real, practical solutions to daily challenges institutions and open knowledge advocates have been experiencing for years, as well as more recent challenges brought about by GenAI.
The training day (day 2, May 29th) will focus on capacity building and basic training for institutions and individuals interested in expanding their knowledge of Wikidata, Wikibase and their relations to GenAI. This will include: an intro to Wikidata; setting up a Wikibase; and GenAI-related solutions, such as the embedding project, the Wikidata MCP and vibe coding.
The full program will be available in March, 2026. More details soon!
