 1) Overview: Creative Commons (CC) does not gather or monitor data. Instead, it offers a technical tool to locate and utilize works that are under a CC license. CC buttons serve as a straightforward way to convey basic rights associated with materials licensed under CC, and both CC logos and buttons are CC trademarks that can be used with works or websites if guidelines are followed. To support CC, you can donate, shop from their store, or, if you're a developer, join the developer community to contribute technically. Additionally, staying informed and spreading information about CC issues is another way to offer support. 2) New Insights: From this FAQ, I gained a clearer understanding of the Creative Commons license mechanism. The CC license is relevant only to copyrighted materials and specific uses of those materials. It does not diminish or limit rights under copyright exceptions or limitations, so a CC license might not be necessary under those circumstances. Another interest

  Assignment 5: Ask AI how you can use it to help Wikipedia.  Wikipedia is verifiable, and sources of information are heavily referenced so that "people who use encyclopedias can check if the information comes from reliable sources."Identify problematic references and improve their verifiability. Using artificial intelligence to verify Wikipedia's knowledge and sources is feasible. Wikipedia is an open knowledge base whose content comes from the contributions of many volunteers.Although it has extensive information, sometimes there may be errors or uncertainties.It makes sense to use AI technology to verify its accuracy and reliability. By using AI, each Wikipedia entry can be quickly checked for origin and fact-checked to improve the credibility and accuracy of the content.In addition, AI can help identify possible errors or biases and alert users to related issues. Using AI to verify Wikipedia's knowledge and sources is an effective means to facilitate the dissemina

   Assignment 2: Should AI be used to create Wikipedia articis?    I don't think so, but while AI can create to a certain extent, they still can't completely replace human creativity, imagination, and emotion, because they're just virtual simulations of programs and algorithms.At the same time, there are still some limitations and shortcomings in AI creation, such as lack of flexibility, innovation, aesthetic taste and artistry.Therefore, human involvement remains indispensable for highly creative editorial positions. Furthermore, while using AI for creativity can increase efficiency and reduce costs, in some cases, using AI for creativity may reduce the quality and uniqueness of works because they often reuse the same patterns and themes.
