BTU has developed and launched two platforms on OpenAI, each serving different purposes for users:
BTUAI – An unprecedented BTU product accessible to any interested individual or organization. BTUAI consolidates the latest analytical materials on various sectors of business and economics. It creates educational products, modern business cases, and multimedia products such as podcasts, videos, infographics, and more. BTUAI is the result of a collaboration between human and machine learning, where analytical materials are generated using AI and undergo professional expertise for quality assurance. These materials are created using large-scale and new datasets from both Georgia and the international community.
Another product of the Business and Technology University is GeorgiAI – a large-scale digital information repository that consolidates megadata across various fields and processes it using AI. Created through a partnership between BTU and Palitra Holding, GeorgiAI is the country’s largest unified digital information resource, making reliable information on current events, economic indicators, historical facts, and other topics widely accessible. This AI-based digital product integrates current, new, and archival materials. The constantly updated information covers various sectors – economics, business, politics, culture, innovation, technology, education, and more. Access to it is available to anyone interested.
