**Context**: Wikimedia Foundation's strategy for supporting editors with AI is described in the [[https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Strategy/Multigenerational/Artificial_intelligence_for_editors|AI Strategy for Editors document]]. Implementing the strategy (between July 1, 2025 to June 30, 2028) will require investments by many teams across the organization, including the [[https://research.wikimedia.org/|Research team]]. Developing, maintaining/updating, and seeing the execution of a Research roadmap is essential to make sure the components that need to be done by the Research team are scheduled, staffed, and coordinated in a timely manner. This responsibility is delegated to @Miriam by @leila. This epic maps to the [[https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Wikimedia_Foundation_Annual_Plan/2025-2026/Product_%26_Technology_OKRs#Building,_improving_and_sustaining_the_infrastructure_for_Wikimedia_projects_and_volunteers,_rooted_in_our_values|Sustainable Infrastructure Priority]] in the WMF Annual Plan for FY26.
**Next deliverable**:
[] Research roadmap for AI Strategy for Editors by mid-December, 2025. Format TBD.
**How**:
- A priority for the Research Leadership team. The Research roadmap will include the work of all the Research team on this front. It can include work related to investments in the research community, recommendations on how to do human centered AI development, user research, all the way to building evaluation datasets and tuning LLMs for the prioritized areas.
- The sequencing of some items in the roadmap will be informed by product roadmaps. Coordination and collaboration with group product managers and directors in relevant areas will be key (and already started in some areas as of October 2025).
**Measure of success**: to be updated.
