How Can Data Teams use Generative AI with Shaun McGirr

In the latest episode of the #AgileData podcast I chat with Shaun McGirr on how can data teams use Generative AI

We delve deep into the transformative capabilities of large language models (LLMs), such as ChatGPT-3, and their potential to revolutionise data teams.

Drawing on Shaun’s diverse experiences spanning data management, programming, machine learning, and his current role at Dataiku, the episode offers insights into how businesses can optimise their data strategies and enhance their communication between business and data teams.

We examine the impact of LLMs on the data industry, the opportunities and challenges they present, and their potential to bring about a paradigm shift akin to the iPhone’s impact on smartphones.

(Yes this summary was created with ChatGPT 😉

AgileData App Colours of the Catalog

In the AgileData App, different colours represent the various categorisation of data.

Grey for historical data, blue for concepts (things to count), orange for details (describing things), green for events (business processes), and purple for data ready for consumption.

These colours visually guide users through the myriad of data in the Catalog, providing quick insight into how data is classified and organised and its potential usage.
