Generative AI and the Future of Citizen Development with Practitioner Bill Shube

In this episode of the Data Table Podcast, I discuss the impact of generative AI on citizen development with expert practitioner Bill Shube. We explore the evolving role of citizen developers, individuals who leverage self-service data access and analysis to enhance their job performance without being traditional data scientists. Our conversation delves into the significance of generative AI, large language models (LLMs), and tools like ChatGPT in accelerating data tasks, the challenges of implementing these technologies, and the importance of foundational data literacy. We also touch on themes expected from Tom Davenport's upcoming book, "All Hands on Tech: The AI-Powered Citizen Revolution," which promises to explore the journey and career implications of citizen developers. Bill shares his experiences and practical examples, emphasizing the potential of citizen development to transform business processes and contribute significantly to innovation.
