Why this page exists, and how to correct or remove it
This profile is assembled automatically because Jimmy Wales appears in coverage we index or holds a role listed publicly by their organisation. It uses only public sources — company and organisation pages, news articles, Wikipedia, and public professional listings — and the biography, if any, is written by AI from those sources and cited above.
We hold it to report on the AI industry, under the legitimate interest of journalistic reporting. You can ask us to correct it, restrict it, or take it down, and you can object at any time — no account needed, no reason required.
