The ALT-TEXT Wiki is an open-access reference knowledge base dedicated to AI literacy, digital sovereignty, media literacy, and human-centred technology, maintained by ALT-TEXT.
Purpose of this Project
Navigating modern tech ecosystems requires practical, accessible documentation. The ALT-TEXT Wiki aims to demystify complex technical, regulatory, and policy landscapes – from machine learning frameworks to platform governance and European digital policy. It serves as an evolving open tool to support educators, civil society, researchers, and non-profit organisations working towards digital rights and open-source alternatives.
Methodological Disclaimer & AI Disclosure
In the spirit of transparency and digital literacy, readers should note the following regarding the current state of this wiki:
- AI-Assisted Generation: Much of the initial structure and descriptive content across these entries was generated using large language models. While edited for scope, the text has not undergone exhaustive manual peer review.
- Citations & References: Many entries currently lack comprehensive academic or primary-source citations. Fact-checking, source attribution, and verification are ongoing processes.
- Work in Progress: Information provided here should be treated as a draft reference rather than an absolute authority. We encourage users to cross-reference critical technical and legal details.
Open Invitation: Contribute & Refine
A truly democratic digital public sphere relies on community oversight and shared knowledge. We actively invite contributions from researchers, developers, policy experts, and advocates.
You can help us improve this resource by:
- Adding missing citations, primary sources, and peer-reviewed references.
- Expanding, correcting, or clarifying existing definitions.
- Adding new terms, case studies, or open-source software directories.
- Auditing existing pages for factual accuracy or algorithmic bias.

Glossaries
- AI Terminology Glossary – Key concepts in artificial intelligence: how models are built and trained, generative AI and large language models, the history of the field, deployment risks, and the policy vocabulary needed to follow AI regulation.
- AI People Glossary – The people who shaped artificial intelligence, from the mathematical precursors and the founders of the field to today's industry leaders and its critics.
- Media and Information Literacy Glossary – Terms in media and information literacy, freedom of expression, platform governance, and critical thinking.
Directories
- Free Tier Services Directory – Hosted services that are free to start on, organised by what a small organisation needs to do: publishing, email, files, data, AI, measurement and the tooling in between. 437 services across ten pages.
