With generative AI’s ability to create text and videos, the online world has fundamentally changed.
However, many people do not recognize that there is something distinctly familiar behind all that AI-generated content: knowledge curated, debated, and documented by humans.
That’s why Wikipedia’s role as the backbone of all knowledge on the internet has never been more important.
Let us explain.
Human-created knowledge isn’t replaceable

Join us for our next club meeting as we explore Ray Bradbury’s haunting short story “There Will Come Soft Rains.”
Published in the 1950s, this piece imagines an automated house continuing its daily routine even after the disappearance of its human inhabitants. It is a chilling reflection on technology, war, and the fragility of humanity’s future. Whether you are reading it for the first time or revisiting it, this short story offers plenty to think about and discuss.
Over the past two decades, the bedroom has been culturally reconfigured and revitalized. As neoliberal-policy induced housing precarity has become ubiquitous, we now spend much more time living with roommates, or maybe even moving back into our parents’ place. We feel as though our agency and control are in constant flux, slowly slipping away from us while the complexities of the global financial flows and politics which govern our lives consistently seem to undermine our interests. What, then, is left over? Where can we still exercise our agency? What place still belongs to us?
Robert Poorten/AdobestockWhere will all the electricity required for the increasing number of electric cars come from? The Shared Charging project aims to provide an answer to this common question. The research team is developing a novel approach to public charging systems that can be seamlessly integrated into renewable energy systems. The goal is to create a comprehensive, user-friendly network of charging points that is as accessible as today’s parking spaces – but powered by solar, wind and other renewable sources.

Ein echter Meilenstein auf dem Weg zu autonomen Raumfahrtsystemen: Ein Forschungsteam der Julius-Maximilians-Universität Würzburg (JMU) hat einen KI-basierten Lageregler für Satelliten direkt im All erfolgreich getestet – eine Weltpremiere! Der Test fand an Bord des 3U-Nanosatelliten InnoCube statt.
aau/MüllerHow can systems solve complex problems such as creating a duty roster in a hospital or a time and room schedule at a university – while remaining clear and easy to follow? In the project ‘EX3: EXplain and EXploit Knowledge EXtracted to Improve ASP’, funded by the Austrian Science Fund FWF, Alice Tarzariol will be working on new methods for solving these kinds of issues more efficiently and accurately with the help of Artificial Intelligence.

Many parents took vacation during the fall break week. This was not only noticeable among the staff, but also in the courses, where seats remained empty. Many of them were probably engaged in caregiving activities during this time.
In der aktuellen Ausgabe des Journal of Applied Ecology berichten Forschende der Julius-Maximilians-Universität Würzburg (JMU), dass Rehe die natürliche Regeneration von Laubwäldern deutlich stärker einschränken, als bislang angenommen. Das Team um Professor Jörg Müller hat in einem mehrjährigen Freilandexperiment gezeigt: Selbst wenn nach Störungen viel Licht in den Wald fällt, kann dieser Vorteil den selektiven Verbiss durch Rehe nicht kompensieren.
Verbiss verhindert positive Lichteffekte
