    Brief

    The National Data Library is conducting research to identify how public-sector departments can prepare their data for effective access by Large Language Models (LLMs) and AI tools. This hackathon event, organized by Connected Places Catapult, uses the Met Office as a case study to demonstrate practical approaches to data readiness. The one-day hackathon brings together stakeholders to explore methodologies, best practices, and technical solutions for structuring and formatting government data to enable AI and LLM integration. This is an opportunity for suppliers and technology partners to contribute expertise in data preparation, AI compatibility, and infrastructure solutions that support the digital transformation of public-sector data management.
