Exploring Interpretability in Open Government Data with ChatGPT

Published: 11 June 2024 Publication History

Abstract

The global initiative supporting open government data (OGD) has witnessed significant strides in the last decade. This study delves into the prospective integration of Artificial Intelligence (AI) with Hippolyta, a framework meticulously crafted to amplify the interpretability of government data. The aim is to scrutinize the viability of this integration, conducting a technical investigation in the realms of open government data and artificial intelligence. In contributing to the expansive field of OGD, this research focuses on elucidating the interpretability of data originating from governmental sources. Through an exploration of the technical feasibility surrounding the fusion of AI with Hippolyta, we aim to pave the path for advancements, fostering heightened interpretability and overarching enhancements in the understanding of government data.
