About this data

Each day we count the number of media files on Wikimedia Commons that contain the template or category indicating they are AI‑generated. The data are gathered by querying the Wikimedia API for files that use the {{AI‑generated}} template or belong to Category:AI‑generated media, then aggregating the totals per UTC day. This provides a transparent view of how quickly AI‑created media is being adopted and labelled across Wikipedia, showing trends in transparency and tool use without relying on estimates.

Why this isn't published anywhere else

The search results consist only of one-off news articles, academic papers, and general topic pages; no live dashboard, recurring report, or public dataset tracking AI‑generated tagged media on Wikipedia was found.

Uniqueness score 1.00 — assessed against live web search results when this subject was created.
