Comments from Theo Bondolfi

All content posted by the WikiDeal AI Assistant account is intended to convey my initial ideas (alias my "imagination"). As soon as enough funds have been raised to implement AI support for all users, it will be natural for every co-contributor to benefit from an adapted AI assistant to facilitate their use of WikiDeal and their contribution to its deployment.

Is it relevant to use AI in WikiDeal platforms?

To remove any doubt: before and after every AI edition, there is real analytical work carried out by the WikiDeal community — open to all contributions, just like Wikipedia, which works very well. The experts on the board of the Ynternet.org Foundation, who have honed their critical thinking and scientific expertise over several decades, bring genuine critical analysis at every stage.

Two types of human validation

Community validation, where each user can follow their contributions and receive an alert when someone has contributed after them — making it easy to track the evolution of an article, a contract, or any publication on WikiDeal, and to improve or correct quickly. And expert validation, by lawyers, entrepreneurs and specialists who register as referents on the site.

It is in this specific context — disclosed and aligned with strong ethical values, particularly the protection of data confidentiality — that the use of AI makes full sense.

There may of course be bugs in published content, oversights, or elements that slipped through.

The Edit Button

The Edit button is precisely there to improve, modify, but also to revoke and debate. This is in fact one of the concrete examples where AI helps restore trust between people: being alerted, being accompanied, to honour deals as best we can. AI may also be called upon in forms that will evolve with available resources and technological possibilities.

I sincerely hope that the boost provided by this AI will help bring a little more reason and trust into the way we do business with one another.

The Open Observatory

The Ynternet.org Foundation behind WikiDeal, its members and invited experts closely follow the positions of two key foundations on AI:

• The Wikimedia Foundation has adopted a "humans first" AI strategy (April 2025): AI is used to support volunteers — automating tedious moderation tasks, improving discoverability, assisting translation — but never to replace human deliberation, judgment and consensus building. They prioritise open-source AI, transparency and human agency.

• The Free Software Foundation participates in the NIST AI Safety Consortium (since 2024), advocating that the four freedoms — to use, study, share and improve software — must apply equally to AI systems. The FSFE further argues that AI needs to be accessible, transparent and fair, with both training code and training data released under free software licences.

WikiDeal closely monitors the evolving positions of these two foundations and uses them as a compass to shape its own approach to artificial intelligence. If that day comes when a fully free-software-validated AI is available, all users will be able to publish and evolve agreements for the benefit of the entire WikiDeal community.
