"Exploring AI's Role in Validating Wikipedia Information"
Relying solely on Wikipedia information poses risks, highlighting the importance of cross-referencing with original sources cited in footnotes.
However, primary sources can also be unreliable. Researchers have introduced SIDE, an AI system, to scrutinize citations, aiming to boost trust in Wikipedia references.
SIDE verifies primary sources and suggests alternatives but operates under the assumption of Wikipedia's accuracy. Although it's favored in 70% of cases, SIDE has limitations. It primarily focuses on web page references, missing the varied sources in Wikipedia, such as books and scientific articles.
Moreover, like any AI system, SIDE might reflect biases based on its training data and creators.
