Deep dives
Democratization of Data Access
The future of data analytics will involve democratizing access to data, allowing more people, beyond just data engineers and scientists, to interact with and use data in their jobs. Tools like Snowflake will become accessible to decision-makers and business analysts, enabling them to make data-driven decisions and explore data in new ways. This increased accessibility will be facilitated by technologies like large language models and streamlets, making it easier for individuals to interact with and understand data.
Elevating Decision-Making with Real-Time Data
Data analytics will play an increasingly important role in decision-making processes across businesses and even in political and policy arenas. As organizations adopt real-time data and better technology infrastructures, decision-makers will have access to more accurate and up-to-date information for making informed choices. This will result in more transparency and accuracy in decision-making, ultimately transforming how businesses and governments operate.
The Transformative Power of Structured Data
While unstructured data has garnered significant attention, the potential for structured data to be transformed through large language models should not be underestimated. Large language models have the ability to improve data cleaning, joining, and structuring processes, enabling more efficient use of structured data. For instance, large language models can enhance fuzzy joining techniques, allowing for more accurate entity resolution and improving data integrity.
Data Monetization and Compliance
The rise of large language models has created a demand for compliant data that can be used to fine-tune and train models. Organizations are seeking properly licensed data sets that align with privacy and compliance regulations. Snowflake Marketplace offers a platform for sharing and accessing these data sets, enabling organizations to find valuable data while adhering to regulations. In the future, there may be more proprietary data sets available for use in large language models, further expanding the range of compliant inputs.
In this episode, Alex Izydorczyk, Founder and CEO at Cybersyn, shares his vision of how integrated data can help to power better decision and policy making, the need for better branding of alternative data, and how Cybersyn is focused on building out DaaS (data as a service) across all industries.
