Data Thing Part 7: Yes it still exists
Like all good council projects it ground to a halt for a while then has risen from the dead ⚰
Not much to report:
STATUS UPDATE
- Still trying to get a place on a Fabric Analyst in a Day course but I keep getting rejected because they fill up so quick 😒
- Gonna have to extend the free trial again, I'm hoping I'll get the extend it yourself button in a week or so 🤞
- I've been volunteered to present to our directors on what AI is and what it means for the council 😅. A big part of the discussion is going to be the fact that anything that utilises AI needs to start with good quality, accessible data. Then that will lead to this project and how if they are interested in hopping on the AI train we need to get our data in order first.
- Side note: My previous blogs are quite useful for planning this out! seems like there was a point to writing all this drivel 😝
