Introducing AI-powered data lake analytics in Starburst Galaxy

Starburst has introduced new AI-powered features in Starburst Galaxy to enhance data lake analytics by leveraging generative AI for text-to-SQL and SQL-to-text workflows. These features aim to make data more accessible to business users by allowing them to generate SQL statements from natural language questions and providing explanations for SQL queries, thereby improving data literacy and business continuity. Although these features are still experimental and require human oversight to ensure accuracy, they represent a significant step in integrating AI into data management practices. The features are currently in public preview and can be enabled by users with the necessary account privileges, with Starburst continuing to explore ways to incorporate richer metadata for more precise results.
