Dear Wikimedia Community Ireland,

I am forwarding this email from a researcher in Cambridge who is conducting a study on AI and Wikipedia and is looking for Wikimedians to interview, particularly well-seasoned people who have been editing and seen the platform change over time.

If anyone would be interested you can reach out to Aarshin directly or I would be happy to connect you. It says the interviews will take place in April, but they are still searching for participants.

Kind regards, Sophie

Hi Folks,

I am in need of *6 more Wikipedians* to complete my interview study on what AI means for Wikipedia. *No personally identifiable information will be required of you*.

Please email me if you or a Wikipedian you know may be interested. I am hoping to complete interviews *within the next 2 weeks*.

Details below:

*Interview Request - University of Cambridge Study*

My name is Aarshin Karande and I am a student at the University of Cambridge enrolled in the MSt, AI Ethics & Society program administered by the Leverhulme Centre for the Future of Intelligence http://lcfi.ac.uk/. The summative coursework for this program is an original research project submitted through a dissertation.

My dissertation will examine the uses of AI on Wikipedia and how Wikipedians are implicated by them. I am inviting Wikipedians to participate in 45-minute- to 65-minute-long interviews. In these interviews, we will discuss:

- Your background as a Wikipedian - The work you do on the platform - Your observations about how Wikipedia has changed over time - Your comments about AI - Your ideas about what AI means for Wikipedia - Anything else you may find relevant and important to this topic

This project is looking for 10 participants. Interviews will be conducted throughout April 2024 remotely via Zoom. Participants' identities will be anonymized to remove any personally identifying information.

If you would like to participate in this study, please message me at ak2471@cam.ac.uk. For further information, please refer to the participant information sheet https://drive.google.com/file/d/1UHk4eexdkx6NSi_BWB0nAo_ZqnOAP-RN/view?usp=sharing. If you have any questions or concerns about this project, please message me at ak2471@cam.ac.uk.

Cheers, -Aarshin
