Researchers developing AI that could correct outdated information on Wikipedia


Outdated Wikipedia entries could soon be automatically updated by AI. — AFP Relaxnews

On Feb 12, MIT News reported that scientists have created an automated text-generating tool powered by artificial intelligence that can update outdated sentences like a human.

Instead of relying on volunteers to correct outdated information on Wikipedia, the reference site could soon use a text-generating system "that pinpoints and replaces specific information in relevant Wikipedia sentences, while keeping the language similar to how humans write and edit".
