AI Strategies

Evolution of Best AI Practices and Uses Applied to WikiDeal

Wikimedia Foundation

The Wikimedia Foundation adopted a "humans first" AI strategy (April 2025). Their four strategic axes, adapted for WikiDeal:

  • Supporting moderators with AI-assisted workflows for knowledge integrity → WikiDeal: supporting referents and validators with AI-assisted workflows for legal integrity of contracts
  • Giving editors time back by improving discoverability for human deliberation → WikiDeal: giving contributors time back by generating initial drafts, leaving time for review and endorsement
  • Helping editors share local perspectives via automated translation → WikiDeal: helping users adapt agreements to local legal frameworks and languages
  • Scaling onboarding of new volunteers with guided mentorship → WikiDeal: scaling onboarding of new users with guided assistance for their first deals

Free Software Foundation

Participates in the NIST AI Safety Consortium (since 2024). Advocates that the four freedoms must apply to AI. The FSFE argues AI must be accessible, transparent and fair.

Mozilla Foundation

Champions "trustworthy AI" and open-source alternatives. Building an "AI rebel alliance" (January 2026) to ensure open-source wins in the AI era.

OpenStreetMap Foundation

Adopted a Moderation Policy on Chatbots and AI (June 2025). Actively debates AI-generated contributions while maintaining data quality through human verification.

Debian Project

General Resolution on AI Models and DFSG compliance (April 2025). AI models without training data/source code are not DFSG-compliant — the highest standards of software freedom applied to AI.

Contract Model Competitors

  • Accord Project — open-source smart legal contract stack
  • Open Contracts — open-source collaborative contract labelling tool
  • PandaDoc, GetAccept, Proposify — commercial contract management (freemium)
  • Spellbook, LegalFly, ContractPodAi — AI-powered contract review and drafting

WikiDeal's differentiator: commons-based, community-owned, with legal endorsement and human validation — not a commercial SaaS product.

Free Online Legal Services

  • Government legal databases (fedlex.admin.ch, legifrance.gouv.fr, etc.)
  • Open legal education platforms
  • Pro bono legal networks
  • AI-assisted legal advice platforms

Commons-Based Communities

  • Wikimedia Foundation — encyclopedia commons
  • Mozilla Foundation — open web
  • OpenStreetMap Foundation — geographic commons
  • Debian Project — free software distribution
  • P2P Foundation — commons-based peer production research
  • Platform cooperatives — cooperative alternatives to extractive platforms

Legal & Regulatory Watch

  • FINMA / Swiss financial regulations
  • EU AI Act (adopted June 2024)
  • Data protection (FADP, GDPR)
  • Consumer protection in digital marketplaces
