Artificial Intelligence (AI) has been generating a lot of discussion and excitement in the Department of Interior (DOI). The DOI AI strategy document states, “With careful and deliberate implementation, Interior can use AI to increase benefits to people, climate, and nature. By fostering a culture of collaboration and learning, underpinned by responsible AI usage, DOI will enhance our mission delivery that is effective, efficient, and equitable.” What does this strategy mean for data managers and how we conduct data management in the Bureau? What does responsible AI usage mean in the context of data management? This session will provide lightning talks demonstrating the use of AI tools for data management and providing the opportunity for participants to get hands on experience with the technologies. We will also have a discussion about the pros and cons of using AI in data management with the intention of developing a framework of how to move forward with AI in an ethical way as a science agency.
