different aspects of the WMF Annual Plan for 2025-2026.
While we are discussing multiple trends; during the SAOCC we are hosting a
45 min session including breakouts in which we will discuss the following
trends in detail.
1.
Contributors: People participate eagerly in online spaces that provide
rewarding connections.
2.
Neutrality: Struggles over neutral and verifiable information threaten
access to knowledge projects and their contributors.
3.
Content and AI: Digital information that is created and verified by
humans is the most valuable asset in the AI tech platform wars.

to seeing you on the call.
