Wikipedia downgrades CNET’s reliability rating after AI-generated articles

CNET's reliability rating on Wikipedia has been downgraded due to concerns over the accuracy of its AI-generated articles. The tech news outlet began publishing articles written by an AI model in 2022, but it was later discovered that these articles contained plagiarism and errors. Following discussions among Wikipedia editors, CNET is now listed as "generally unreliable" during the period when it used AI-generated content. The controversy has also sparked a debate about the reliability of sources owned by Red Ventures, which includes CNET, Bankrate, and CreditCards.com. CNET has stated that it maintains high editorial standards and will follow its public AI policy in the future.

Russian version of Wikipedia to launch soon, reports say

A full-scale launch of Ruwiki, a Russian version of Wikipedia, is set to take place soon. The site has already undergone successful beta testing, with more articles available than the Russian-language segment of Wikipedia. Despite Russia's crackdown on online content, there are currently no plans to block Wikipedia. President Vladimir Putin approved the development of alternative platforms to Wikipedia earlier this year. During beta testing, popular articles on Ruwiki included topics such as recent deaths, the Arab-Israeli conflict, Russia's military operation in Ukraine, and top-grossing films in Russia. However, the cost of the project and names of investors have not been disclosed.

Google will also target domain squatting, where websites with name recognition are purchased to profit off their reputations using AI-generated articles.
