This paper seeks to unpack the emergent relationship between open data and generative AI. The authors provide a range of scenarios in which open data and generative AI could intersect, and outline how open data providers and other interested parties can help make open data 'ready' for those specific scenarios.

The GovLab, with the support of the Knight Foundation, recently sought to evaluate how non-traditional data was used to respond to the COVID-19 pandemic. The research identifies lessons and recommendations that can be applied to future data-driven crisis management.
