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.

Representatives from Digital Green India (a NGO) and Microsoft Research (India) developed a generative AI chatbot for agricultural services. The chatbot provides farmers with text, audio, and video responses to queries about agriculture. The chatbot uses RAG and draws on research papers and other data sources. It has been implemented in Kenya, India, Ethiopia, and Nigeria thus far.
