Pendyala is an assistant professor of applied data science at San Jose State University and is a public voices fellow of The OpEdProject. In a recent study, 71 percent of the government leaders said that using generative artificial intelligence in their operations will result in benefits that outweigh any potential risks. Maybe we should enshrine the use of data in our founding documents.
