 Mariana Eskander is CEO of the Wikimedia Foundation, and we're thrilled to have you here. What tools are currently available that we can all turn to connect citizens? Thank you for inviting us to participate in today's conversation. I'm the CEO of the Wikimedia Foundation. This is the global nonprofit that operates Wikipedia and other digital projects that advance free knowledge. We provide the technical infrastructure and more importantly support hundreds of thousands of volunteers who contribute to Wikipedia. Our organization was accredited to EcoSoc last year. We look forward to supporting our free knowledge projects in advancing the SDGs. We are an active member of the Freedom Online Coalition's advisory network, and we co-chair the new task force on trustworthy information online. The volunteers who contribute to Wikipedia, who I have the honor of representing today, are citizens and constituents of all of the governments represented here. They are committed to working with all of you to make sure that the internet evolves in a way that allows everyone everywhere to thrive. But what we're seeing in this age of artificial intelligence is that it's getting harder to ensure that technology serves people and not the other way around. To thrive economically, socially, and culturally, and to exercise all other fundamental human rights, we know that people everywhere need well-sourced knowledge that is available in their own languages. Last month I had the privilege to travel to Singapore for a global gathering of our volunteers. It is a constant reminder of the humans who are dedicated to ensuring that the internet remains human led and technology enabled. People like a doctor named Allah, who dedicates all of his spare time to ensuring that accurate information about COVID-19 is available in Arabic, or Taufik, who started editing in the Malay language Wikipedia as a student and now as a teacher is focused on how to use Wikipedia in the classroom. The one thing I've learned from the Wikipedia volunteers is how the day-to-day process of building and improving facts works on Wikipedia. It's important to remember this is an encyclopedia. It is not a social media platform or an opinion page. Contributors to Wikipedia collaborate, debate, and discuss their edits in order to write thoughtful, informative articles. They provide citations and sources. They weigh multiple perspectives all out in the open so that good faith decisions can be made about content together. And they embrace the spirit of collaboration across national borders to provide the most accurate information possible for the world. They also set and enforce rules for what does and does not belong on our projects guided by a universal code of conduct and the foundation's commitment to human rights standards. Wikipedia directly reflects some of the sustainable development goals that we're here to discuss. Our projects contribute to inclusive and equitable quality education and promote lifelong learning for people everywhere. The foundation's programs prioritize the advancement of gender equality and empowering all women and girls. But there is no SDG that can be achieved if individuals and communities lack a wide range of well-sourced and accurate knowledge. Reliable, verified facts need people to discover, report, research, curate, translate, analyze, and organize them. Which means that people who do such work, including Wikipedians, need to be protected. We are experimenting and have been for many years with how AI tools can help Wikipedians do their work by keeping humans in control of the facts. There is much discussion this week about AI regulation and we certainly believe that any company and organization that deploys artificial intelligence should be held accountable to and by those affected. Finally, we must not lose sight of the people who governments have an ultimate duty to protect. We need to make sure that the laws and regulations targeting technology also protect the people who are at the coalface of the fight against disinformation. People who discover, report, share, and curate knowledge, including sometimes facts that may be inconvenient to the people with the power to silence them. Thank you.
