INSEAD, The Business School for the World, has announced the launch of Botipedia, positioning it as the world's largest encyclopedic knowledge portal. Moving beyond traditional and crowd-edited models like Wikipedia, Botipedia leverages proprietary AI and hundreds of algorithms to automatically generate content. Its core technology, the Dynamic Multi-method Generation (DMG) technique, uses a vast library of curated archives and satellite data to create over 400 billion entries across more than 100 languages, aiming to provide verifiable, high-quality information on virtually any subject.
INSEAD has launched Botipedia, an AI-generated encyclopedia.
It features over 400 billion entries in more than 100 languages.
The platform uses a proprietary "Dynamic Multi-method Generation" (DMG) technique.
It is designed to avoid AI hallucination and intrinsic bias by grounding content in verifiable data.
The technology is more sustainable, operating at a fraction of the processing power of models like ChatGPT.
It aims to bridge the knowledge gap for underserved languages.
Botipedia's technology does not rely solely on large language models (LLMs). Instead, it uses customized methods for different types of content; for example, generating weather-related text and tables for all longitudes and latitudes using geo-spatial methods. This approach dramatically increases both the quantity and accuracy of available content. Every entry is processed to directly quote reliable sources or generate original content using natural language generation techniques specifically designed to avoid hallucination, providing users with multiple perspectives on a topic from data-grounded sources.
A primary mission of Botipedia is to provide equal access to information, ensuring "no language is left behind." It directly addresses the vast content disparity found on platforms like Wikipedia, where English has millions of articles but languages like Swahili have only tens of thousands. By automating the generation of content across underserved languages, Botipedia dramatically expands accessible knowledge. The project is an initiative of INSEAD's Human and Machine Intelligence Institute (HUMII), designed as a practical application of the school's IP to enhance human decision-making and retain human agency in the age of AI.
