Hi Deepak,

It is definitely knowledge, not information. Probably the best way to differentiate those concepts is via the DIKW pyramid, which, as this blog notes, I like to invert.

And, yes, I prefer “human knowledge”. Until we get contact with another intelligent species that can enable us to share inter-species knowledge, I think we should qualify our knowledge as human.

Best,
