Data structuring is a critical aspect of creating powerful applications that can transform industries. Artificial intelligence (AI) has rapidly advanced in recent years (well, some would argue, months) and has the potential to revolutionize the way we collect, organize, and analyze data. However, even with its impressive capabilities, AI is not infallible, and it can produce errors, biases, or inaccuracies in its output if the data is not structured correctly. This is where human expertise comes in. By working together, human experts and AI can create robust data structuring pipelines that can unlock the full potential of AI algorithms. In this post, we will explore the power of human expertise and AI working together to create revolutionary applications through effective data structuring.
Collaborating with AI for Effective Data Structuring
Collaboration between human experts and AI algorithms is crucial for the effective structuring of both financial and non-financial data. For instance, in the context of ESG data collection, as well as non-financial data from sources such as MD&A, Earnings Releases, and Proxy Statements, human experts can work with AI algorithms to develop data structuring applications that can identify risks and opportunities related to economics, environmental, social, and governance factors. This collaboration facilitates the collection, processing, and analysis of vast amounts of data from diverse sources, including filings, annual reports, CSR reports, news articles, and social media posts.
Reliability in AI-Generated Data
Accuracy and reliability are critical in AI-generated data, especially when it comes to complex and impactful issues such as financial performance, climate impact, social justice, and corporate governance. These issues require a deep understanding of context, and human expertise is essential in identifying patterns and relationships that may not be immediately apparent. By working with AI algorithms, human experts can ensure that the data is structured correctly and that any errors or biases are identified and corrected, leading to more accurate predictions and recommendations.
For example, when it comes to climate impact, human experts with expertise in environmental science and policy can collaborate with AI algorithms to collect and analyze data on emissions, resource depletion, and other factors that contribute to climate change. Similarly, social justice issues such as discrimination, inequality, and human rights abuses are complex and multifaceted. Human experts with knowledge of social and political systems can work with AI algorithms to collect and analyze data on these issues, ensuring that the data is structured correctly and any biases are identified and corrected. In the realm of corporate governance, human experts can work with AI algorithms to collect and analyze data on issues such as executive compensation, board diversity, and shareholder activism.

The Future of Data Structuring
With the continued development of AI and the increasing reliance on AI-generated data, the future of data structuring will be a collaborative one. Human expertise will remain essential for effective data structuring, ensuring that AI-generated data is accurate, reliable, and optimized for specific tasks and objectives.
At idaciti, we've found that the best way to structure data is by having human experts provide effective guidance to AI algorithms. Although AI algorithms are capable of performing various tasks independently, they still require direction and guidance from humans to ensure that the data is structured effectively and aligned with specific objectives.
In addition to guidance, human expertise will be critical in identifying and correcting errors and biases in AI-generated data. While AI algorithms can identify patterns and relationships that may not be immediately apparent, they are still subject to errors and biases in their output. Human experts can review and triangulate data generated by AI algorithms, identifying any errors or biases and correcting them to improve the accuracy and reliability of AI-generated data.
Looking to the future, the collaboration between human experts and AI algorithms will continue to play a vital role in data structuring. As AI technology continues to develop, human expertise will remain critical in identifying patterns and relationships that may not be immediately apparent, while AI algorithms will become increasingly effective at processing vast amounts of data. Together, human experts and AI algorithms can create robust data structuring pipelines that unlock the full potential of AI and lead to transformative applications across industries.
