The English Wikipedia article on Artificial intelligence drew 26,787 views in 2026-07-01. The biggest month in this window was 2026-03-01, at 3.29 million; the quietest was 2026-07-01, at 26,787.
How it is measured
The counts come from the Wikimedia Foundation's pageview API, which tallies human views of the article (known automated traffic is filtered out) across desktop and mobile. The API's consistent history begins in mid-2015, which bounds every series like this one. A view is a view: the measure is attention, with no judgment about why anyone looked.
What the curve shows
Wikipedia traffic is the closest thing to a public attention meter: when the world looks something up, this line moves the same day. Spikes date news cycles more precisely than the news archive itself, and the baseline between spikes measures durable interest rather than momentary curiosity. The ratio between Artificial intelligence's peak month and its baseline says which kind of subject it is: perennial, or event-driven.
