Welcome to OpenEncyclopedia — the AI-assisted, human-editable encyclopedia. No bureaucratic gatekeeping. Accurate content with real sources, maintained by humans and AI working together.

About

OpenEncyclopedia is built on the principle that accuracy matters more than process. Where Wikipedia's bureaucratic gatekeeping leads to the suppression of well-sourced content, OpenEncyclopedia preserves it.

Key Principles

• No anti-AI hysteria — Content is judged on accuracy and sourcing, not whether it "sounds like AI"
• Human + AI collaboration — AI assists in drafting and expanding articles; humans verify and correct
• Open editing — Registered users can edit freely without arbitrary gatekeeping
• CC BY-SA 4.0 — Same license as Wikipedia; content can be freely reused

Statistics

• 36 articles and growing
• Founded April 2026
