Data Commons is a platform developed by Google that aggregates and standardizes public datasets from various global sources. The initiative uses AI and large language models to provide a natural language interface, enabling users to query complex data without requiring technical expertise. Through partnerships with organizations like the UN, Indian Institute of Technology Madras, and Feeding America, Data Commons offers specialized data portals on topics such as Sustainable Development Goals, India-specific information, and U.S. food security, presenting information through visualizations and analysis tools.
A growing observatory of examples of how open data from official sources and generative artificial intelligence (AI) are intersecting across domains and geographies.
Share your project for inclusion. We seek to learn from generative AI initiatives that use open government and research data across a Spectrum of Scenarios. More information on each scenario can be found in our report: A Fourth Wave of Open Data? Exploring the Spectrum of Scenarios for Open Data and Generative AI.
