Opportunities exist for large language models (LLMs) to support tasks like code writing for data cleaning and exploration. This has potential to make it easier to engage with data, particularly for those that lack formal technical skills or have limited technical support. In this talk, Jennifer reflects on how LLMs have changed her own workflow by streamlining analysis and lowering barriers to iterating and exploring. She also poses questions around who gets to be considered a data analyst now, and what skills or literacies may matter most.</div><div><br></div><div><a href="https://jenposada.com/" rel="nofollow external" class="bo">Jennifer Posada</a> is a UMBC PhD student working with professor <a href="https://flourish.umbc.edu/karen-chen/" rel="nofollow external" class="bo">Lujie Karen Chen</a> in the <a href="https://flourish.umbc.edu/" rel="nofollow external" class="bo">Lab for Informatics for Human Flourishing</a>.
