RUKI incorporates AI technology for the refurbishment of their encyclopedia
Wikiversity, a renowned encyclopedia of facts, has launched an ambitious AI project aimed at updating and safeguarding its extensive encyclopedia materials. The project, announced at the Kazan Digital Week 2025 forum, represents a significant step forward in the realm of digital information management.
The main objective of this project is to provide readers with up-to-date and accurate knowledge. To achieve this, real-time update AI services analyze feeds from leading news agencies and add relevant facts, ensuring the encyclopedia remains a reliable source of information.
In addition to real-time updates, the project also includes an automatic content validation service that tracks risks of violating Russian legislation in Wikiversity. This service works in tandem with RUVIKI's expanded cooperation with the Russian Academy of Sciences, libraries, and museums for reviewing and expert evaluation of materials.
The project also incorporates a forced update AI service that independently searches for information to update a specific article, followed by fact-checking, paraphrasing, and formatting. This service, along with the content enrichment AI service that expands brief materials into full-fledged articles by processing various sources, aims to streamline the process of updating the encyclopedia.
Despite the heavy reliance on technology, control over the texts remains in the hands of leading experts. Vladimir Medeyko, CEO of Wikiversity, emphasised the project's values of reliability and technological advancement, stating that technologies minimise the risks of obsolescence or subjectivity of information, but the final say remains with the specialists in Wikiversity.
Moreover, the project includes the introduction of GPT-patrolling - a set of AI tools for automating user edit control - by the end of 2025. An anti-vandal bot also automatically detects and removes vandal edits in Wikiversity, further ensuring the accuracy of the encyclopedia's content.
Since its inception, over a thousand volunteers have been updating Wikiversity monthly, making around 8-10 thousand edits. Under the control of the editorial team using AI, RUVIKI has enriched 20,000 articles, created 32,000 new articles in Russian, and 12,000 materials for sections in the languages of the peoples of Russia.
The project's pièce de résistance, however, is the automatic article generation AI service. This service creates new articles from different sources, checks the text, formats it in an encyclopedic style, and adds source links, thereby significantly reducing the manual effort required for article creation.
In conclusion, RUVIKI's AI project for updating and protecting encyclopedia materials is a testament to the power of technology in enhancing the accuracy and accessibility of information. By combining human expertise with AI technology, the project aims to provide readers with an encyclopedia of facts that is not only accurate but also up-to-date.
