I had the privilege of catching up with @ojwise on today's episode of the #DataSmartCityPod. datasmart.hks.harvard.edu/ I highly recommend this episode to our state and city leaders, or anyone interested in where the movement is going, as #AI and #GenAI enter the #opendata convo.
Dream job

on how we can better publish data so that we can enable user experiences where anyone can “talk to their data” with Gen AI. (8/x)
If you are innovating with GenAI to expand access to public data, we want to know about it and hear your input about what possibilities could be unblocked if public data was published in more AI-ready ways. commerce.gov/news/blog/2024/… (9/9)
There is much industry needs to do (and is doing) to make data analysis with gen AI more reliable, but publishers of public data have to do more to do too. (6/x)
It is our hypothesis that the machine-readability paradigm of the open data era is insufficient to meet the moment. If users will be using AI as intermediaries to analyze public data, we must make data not only machine-readable but machine-understandable (4/x),
When APIs hit the scene in the early 2000s, innovators in government and civil society met the moment and transitioned from publishing data from merely human-readable tables to machine-readable formats, vastly scaling the ability of users to derive insights from data (1/x)
leveraging newly available BI tools, statistical software, and their own contextual understanding of the data. Now, with the eruption of AI, I believe we’re at a similar, if not even more profound juncture. (2/X)

Am in @CommerceGov’s public meeting on “Request for Information: AI-Ready Open Government Data Assets” & I don’t think I have ever been more impressed with a federal agency. They are moving SO proactively #opendata #opengov

.@ojwise and his team are asking very smart questions about evolution of open data towards AI-readiness. @CommerceGov are asking the public
for input. - commerce.gov/news/blog/2024/…
I bumped into one of my all-time heroes this morning on the elevator, @Kasparov63!
