Full title: Cross-Lingual Collaboration: Breaking Language Barriers for Global Knowledge Sharing, ChatGPT and their human assistant 

This is part of the lightning talk showcase in Wikimania 2023.

AI-driven solutions and community collaboration to bridge Wikipedia's language gaps. Introducing a GPT-4-based multilingual tool to streamline translations and article improvement. Discussing cross-lingual collaboration strategies and the impact of AI on accessible, equitable global knowledge sharing.

This 5-minute talk will focus on the idea of leveraging artificial intelligence and community collaboration to bridge language barriers in Wikipedia, enhancing accessibility and equity across its diverse language editions.

We will begin by briefly discussing the existing disparities in article quality and quantity among various language editions of Wikipedia, emphasizing the need for effective tools and collaborative approaches to address these gaps.

Next, we will introduce a GPT-4-based multilingual translation and expansion tool that can assist editors in translating and improving articles more effectively. This innovative tool utilizes advanced natural language processing and machine learning algorithms to generate high-quality translations and content suggestions, streamlining the editing process across languages.

We will then explore strategies for fostering cross-lingual Wikipedia community collaboration, highlighting the importance of connecting editors across language barriers to promote the exchange of ideas, resources, and best practices. By nurturing such collaborative efforts, we can work towards a more inclusive, diverse, and accessible knowledge base on Wikipedia.

In lieu of a live demo, we will provide a brief overview of the GPT-4-based multilingual tool's features and capabilities, along with recommendations for effectively and responsibly integrating it into the editing workflow.

Finally, we will touch upon the potential impact of AI-driven tools on the future of Wikipedia, emphasizing the importance of continued innovation and collaboration in creating a more accessible and equitable platform for global knowledge sharing.
