Wikimedia Foundation Takes Action to Support AI Developers While Protecting Content

Intelligence: The Wikimedia Foundation has launched a curated dataset in partnership with Kaggle to provide a structured alternative for AI developers, aiming to reduce the impact of data scraping on its platform.

• Wikimedia announced a collaboration with Kaggle to release a beta dataset featuring structured content from Wikipedia in English and French.

• The dataset is tailored for machine learning workflows, facilitating access for AI developers to machine-readable article data, including research summaries and infobox data.

• The initiative aims to alleviate the strain on Wikipedia’s servers caused by automated AI scraping, which consumes significant bandwidth.

• The structured data provided is expected to be a more efficient alternative to traditional scraping, encouraging ethical practices among AI developers.

• Wikimedia has existing data-sharing agreements with tech giants like Google and the Internet Archive, but this new dataset will be more accessible to smaller companies and independent data scientists.

UAE Cabinet Approves AI-Powered Legislative System to Enhance Lawmaking Efficiency

Intelligence: The United Arab Emirates Cabinet has greenlit the creation of an AI-integrated regulatory intelligence ecosystem aimed at streamlining the legislative process by using artificial intelligence to improve law creation and monitoring.

• The newly approved Regulatory Intelligence Office will leverage AI tools to accelerate the legislative process by up to 70%, making the drafting, evaluation, and enactment of laws faster and more precise.

• Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum highlighted that this system will enhance the efficiency and agility of the UAE's legal framework.

• The AI ecosystem will include a centralized mapping of national legislation and facilitate the tracking of laws' impacts on citizens and businesses using national and global data insights.

• The office will also connect with global policy research centers to benchmark UAE legislation against international standards and adopt effective legislative models.

• Examples from other countries, like Brazil, indicate that AI is already being used to draft legislation, showcasing global trends towards AI in law.

• Potential benefits of AI in legislation include increased capacity to address more bills simultaneously, improved clarity and consistency in laws, and enhanced responsiveness to public needs.
