Many organizations invest in data governance out of concern over misuse of data or potential data breaches. These are important considerations and valid aspects of data governance programs. However, good data governance also has positive impacts on organizations. For example, I have previously written about the valuable connection between the use of data catalogs and satisfaction with an organization’s data lake.

I haven’t written much about AI recently. But a recent discussion of Google’s new Large Language Models (LLMs), and its claim that one of these models (named Gopher) has demonstrated reading comprehension approaching human performance , has spurred some thoughts about comprehension, ambiguity, intelligence, and will. (It’s well worth reading Do Large Models Understand Us , a more comprehensive paper by Blaise Agüera y Arcas that is heading in the same direction.).

DataOps is a discipline focused on the delivery of data faster, better, and cheaper to derive business value quickly. It closely follows the best practices of DevOps although the implementation of DataOps to data is nothing like DevOps to code.

Software leaders who are building applications based on Large Language Models (LLMs) often find it a challenge to achieve reliability. It’s no surprise given the non-deterministic nature of LLMs. To effectively create reliable LLM-based (often with RAG) applications, extensive testing and evaluation processes are crucial. This often ends up involving meticulous adjustments to prompts.

Figure 01: Is this a chihuahua or a muffin? In this example, the Machine Learning (ML) model struggles to differentiate between a chihuahua and a muffin. The eyes and nose of a chihuahua, combined with the shape of its head and colour of its fur do look surprising like a muffin if we squint at the images in figure 01 above.
