Emergence of 'AI-Generated' Tagged Media on Wikipedia
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.
