contents Can large language models assist in data discovery? Data discovery predominantly happens via search on a data portal or the web, followed by assessment of the dataset to ensure it is fit for the intended purpose. The ability of conversational generative AI (CGAI) to support recommendations with reasoning implies it can suggest datasets to users, explain why it has done so, and provide information akin to documentation regarding the dataset in order to support a use decision. We hold 3 workshops with data users and find that, despite limitations around web capabilities, CGAIs are able to suggest relevant datasets and provide many of the required sensemaking activities, as well as support dataset analysis and manipulation. However, CGAIs may also suggest fictional datasets, and perform inaccurate analysis. We identify emerging practices in data discovery and present a model of these to inform future research directions and data prompt design.
