I have a fun data-trained-on-Wikipedia story from my days at the Facebook Trending team. Which I am now going to tell you!
Sure. AI companies have ALWAYS been training their models on Wikipedia content, which under the free and open access model is available to anyone — including AI companies. Agreements like these require AI companies to limit and offset the strain they place on Wikimedia infrastructure.
Hoping that @molly.wiki can help explain.

Specific examples of what I’ve done & seen other poll workers do to make voting fairer:
1) Get eligible voters back on track after a PW accidentally puts wrong information into an electronic roster.
2) Correct a fellow PW who was incorrectly requiring that a drivers license have a current address.
