Data is Risky Business: I Want My ChatGPT
Daragh O’Brien writes in a recent issue of The Data Administration Newsletter that the world is a-buzz with articles about ChatGPT and other Large Learning Models (LLM) such as Google’s Bard. “The tone and tenor of these articles range from blind hype to abject horror,” he says.

But, as they are at heart a data management process that ingests source data (training data, prompts) and produces an output.”
