Parla is an AI interface in development at CityLab Berlin. It aims to enhance access to public administration data across the city for both government officials and the general public. Functioning as both a retrieval system and an analytical tool, Parla accesses over 10,000 public documents from city departments, systems, and formats to answer specific queries. However, due to challenges like poorly structured data and insufficient metadata, Parla sometimes generates inaccurate outputs. To address this, Parla ensures its responses include source references, improving transparency and accountability.
Observatory of Examples of How Open Data and Generative AI Intersect
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.
