“ChatGPT, Taxonimst: Opportunities & Challenges in AI-Assisted Taxonomy Development”

November 7, 2023

As ChatGPT has stormed into nearly every intelligent space with almighty power, we should expect a revolution to take place in taxonomy development and use. What risks and rewards might that revolution bring? Hear about opportunities and challenges posed by ChatGPT, how it can be used in taxonomy creation, and its potential for taxonomy management. Hear lessons learned on interacting with ChatGPT and how best to write ChatGPT prompts for taxonomy creation and management. Hear about two cases of taxonomy creation using ChatGPT and how human expertise was invaluable in verifying the AI assistant’s work. The panelists also discuss risks of AI-developed taxonomies and the path forward for this formidable technology.

“Semantic Censorship”

November 7, 2022

The beauty of language is that concepts can be expressed in many ways. The challenge for a researcher is to include all those variations to find all data related to their topic. With the pressures to conform to different standards over time, we need to be certain that information is not lost to researchers by changes in terminology. This quirk came to light during the COVID-19 pandemic: The virus was called by many different names through the course of the pandemic, from very scientific to very casual, to the point of pejorative. This session covers the implications of choosing—or not choosing—taxonomy terms viewed through the lens of censorship. Presented by Angela Cochran, American Society of Clinical Oncology (ASCO), Marjorie Hlava, Access Innovations, and Heather Kotula, Access Innovations at Taxonomy Boot Camp 2022
