Vibe Coding & Wikipedia: AI tools for human contributions
Tuesday, November 17, 2026
10 am Pacific / 1 pm Eastern
Zoom registration
While Wikipedia forbids using generative AI to draft text for articles, “vibe coding,” or building software through plain-language conversation with AI, is helping contributors create custom tools that support their human work.
On November 17, join Wiki Education’s Speaker Series webinar to explore how vibe coding has opened up new possibilities for work across Wikipedia and other Wikimedia projects. We’ll cover how building a tool with AI differs from asking a chatbot for answers or generating content. Then expert panelists Andrew, Gabina, Netha, and Sage will share how they’re using vibe coding to identify content gaps, fix broken tools, and expand what they’re able to accomplish in their open knowledge work.
Panelists:
- Andrew Lih, Wikipedia editor
- Gabina Luz Bianchi, National University of Rosario, Wiki Education
- Netha Hussain, Wikipedia editor
- Sage Ross, Wiki Education
This edition of the Wiki Education Speaker Series will be moderated by LiAnna Davis, Wiki Education’s Chief Programs Officer and Deputy Director.
The event will include a public Q&A. We encourage you to bring questions for the panelists!
